Ripple Effect Ice Trays

Enjoy Your Drink with Ice Made from the Rainy Day Ice Tray

— July 27, 2014 — Lifestyle
Feel like you're having a drink outside on a rainy day -- without having to endure the discomfort of being wet -- with ice cubes made from the Rainy Day ice tray.

Designed by Tsunho Wang, the Rainy Day ice tray is colored baby blue, is made of food-safe silicone, and can make four Rainy Day ice cubes at a time. When the ice cube is placed in your drink it creates the enchanting illusion that a rain drop has fallen into your glass and is sending tiny ripples across the surface of your drink. While three of the molds in the Rainy Day ice tray share the same ripple pattern, the fourth mold has an asymmetrical design, making it look as if a rain drop hit the side of the cup, rather than the center.

Whether you’re having a drink on a hot summer’s day or a rainy autumn night, enjoy it with an ice cube from your Rainy Day ice tray.
