Glass half empty, glass half full.

Introducing The Cipher Glass: A beautiful concept designed by Damjan Stankovic, an award wining designer based in Belgrade, Serbia.

Empty, the glass resembles a meaningless colorful mosaic.
Full, it reveals the name of the liquid poured into it.

Though the Cipher glass is complex in appearance, it is in fact based on a very simple idea:

Differently coloured squares are scattered across the glass surface in a seemingly random pattern. Their position, however, is hardly accidental. The true purpose of the glass mosaic is revealed when coloured liquid is poured into it – orange juice, milk, or Coca-Cola.

The pattern of shapes and empty spaces on the glass, combined with the colour of the liquid inside the glass, form a word that reveals exactly which drink you are having. Each side of the glass is reserved for a specific drink.

Besides being a novelty item with entertainment value it can also serve as a marketing item for beverage companies as it has a strong promotional potential… And we love that!
