Italy-based brand TRAGA presents the Martini Shot Glass, which is notably the debut product by the Milanese design imprint. It is designed by Daniel Mikolovski who is from Skopje, North Macedonia -- this is a city that is recognized for its brutalist architecture and it also serves as the inspiration behind the glassware.
The bifunctional pieces are artful and nod to the structures. Overall, it boasts a minimal design with a cone-shape that rests on top of a cylindrical base foundation. This is what the namesake refers to as it represents the look of a martini glass. Instead of the thin stand, the cylinder is unsealed and can also be flipped upside down to turn into a shot glass as well -- each one comes with a steel skewer for garnishes.
