Aria draws inspiration from lotus leaf dewdrops, emulating their hemispherical shape and surface protrusions. Aira seamlessly combines ergonomic and biomimicry principles with eight interconnected protrusions, minimizing temperature transfer and enhancing grip comfort. Beyond functionality, Aira offers a personalized experience for users. Each protrusion acts as a responsive convex lens, providing visual feedback to changes in liquid volumes, viewing angles, and ambient light within the glass. This creates an unparalleled, personalized, and immersive whisky-drinking experience.
