# Wooden Cocktail Cups These Modern Wooden Cups Add a Playful Sophistication to Home Bars By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-08-19 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-cups References: [davidrasmussendesign](http://davidrasmussendesign.com/) & [davidrasmussendesign](http://davidrasmussendesign.com/collections/barware/products/wud-martini-glass) David Rasmussen Design created a set of hand-crafted wooden cups that come in three standard styles. The use of wood to create these beverage containers allows the user to maintain a cool drink for a longer period of time. Each cup has the ability to keep drinks cool for longer periods of time due to the insulating properties of wood. This collection titled 'Wud' is a divine addition to any modern bar. The series of cups contains a tumbler glass, a [martini glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martini-shot-glass) and a wine glass. The martini and wine glasses are similarly made with black walnut coated with [FDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritter-sport-and-repositrak)-approved finishes. The tumbler is also created with the same wood, but this glass features a playful color accent that accounts for one third of the top of the cup. This modernized mid-century tumbler is available in blue, red or white. Each piece of [wooden glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-kitchen-tools) reveals an elegant stylistic approach that adds a sophisticated touch to any cocktail. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hand-crafted Wooden Cups:** Opportunity for artisans to create unique, eco-friendly drinkware using sustainable materials. - **Insulating Properties of Wood:** Potential for developing innovative, sustainable insulation solutions for various industries. - **Modernized Mid-century Glassware:** Opportunity to offer a nostalgic twist on contemporary glassware designs for the home decor industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Artisanal Drinkware:** Market for unique, sustainable drinkware crafted by artisans. - **Sustainable Construction:** Incorporating wood insulation into building materials to enhance energy efficiency. - **Home Decor:** Catering to the demand for nostalgic, mid-century modern-inspired glassware designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Travel-Ready Cocktail Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-camp-tumbler-set.md) - [Self-Measuring Cocktail Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-craft-hybrid-cocktail-glass.md) - [Machined Aluminum Sake Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sake-cups.md) - [Sustainable Upcycled Glass Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmm-design.md) - [Libation-Cooling Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamas.md) - [Home Mixology Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complete-bar-set.md) - [Stylish Ice Molds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-ice-sets.md) - [Minimalist Glassware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-glassware.md) - [Whiskey-Inspired Cocktail Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awaz-glasses.md)
