# Asymmetrical Glass Dispensers The 'KINK Vinegar Bottle' Features a Bizzare Handmade Bend By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-08-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinegar-bottle References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/413737673480472833/Kink-Vinegar-Bottle) The 'KINK Vinegar Bottle' is a premium handmade vinegar dispenser with a twist. KINK was made with a beautiful asymmetrical feature at the neck of the bottle. Each vinegar container has a unique bend in the neck of the bottle that was naturally made in the glass forming process. A smooth layer of glass protrudes from the body of the bottle to make the top of the vinegar dispenser point at an angle. Designer Deb Jones designed the custom-made bottles for homeware and jewellery retailer [JamFactory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poke-wall-light). The bottles are made using [traditional glassblowing techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navazi). However, the bend in the side is formed using an additional process. Newly-minted bottles are placed on a steel rod and heated. As the rod rotates, the bottle bends and forms a kink. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Asymmetrical Design:** The trend for asymmetrical designs in products presents opportunities for unique and visually striking packaging solutions. - **Handmade Craftsmanship:** The growing appreciation for handmade products creates opportunities for artisans and small-scale manufacturers to offer custom-made and one-of-a-kind items. - **Traditional Techniques with a Twist:** Incorporating traditional manufacturing processes with innovative twists like glass bending opens up possibilities for reimagining classic products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Homeware:** The homeware industry can explore innovative designs in products like bottles and dispensers, offering consumers unique and visually appealing options. - **Jewellery:** The jewellery industry can adopt asymmetrical and handmade elements in their designs, creating distinctive pieces that stand out in the market. - **Glassblowing:** Artisans and manufacturers in the glassblowing industry can experiment with new techniques, such as glass bending, to create unconventional and eye-catching glass products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hen-Shaped Ergonomic Oil Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bernardo-diaz-lopez.md) - [Dual-Ended Ketchup Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-ketchup-down.md) - [Conceptual Craft Beer Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-glass.md) - [Sculptural Glass Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-glass-bottles.md) - [Japanese Art-Inspired Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kintsugi-collection.md) - [Natural Material Bottle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuwa-fuwa-collection.md) - [Playful Garden-Inspired Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whimsical-watering-can.md) - [Monochromatic Sleek Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rare-beauty1.md) - [Playful Packaging-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-milk-vase.md)
