Shaping the Project
On the cylinder blunt form, the designers exercise an integration of techniques with traditional Chinese style and European design. Between the inner and outer walls there is an interspace for a better heat insulation.
-
Texture & Shades
Geometrical patterns interchange with embossed textures, conferring greater grip and emphasizing the tactile sensation while drinking. Fresh pastel colors or black and white shades are mostly used.

2015 Back To Back
Shop Now“Respect Nature, Cherish the Earth”. That commitment, at the core of ACERA’s philosophy, finds expression in our Back-to-Back collection. In one group, geometric patterns in earth tones score the smooth cream surface of the tumblers to evoke natural fissures. In another, a pin-dot effect brings to mind dewdrops emerging from vivid backgrounds. Subtly gradated carafes suggest the luminous changing hues of sunset and dawn. All speak of regeneration, rejuvenation, and reproduction, central life forces that foster a healthy living environment.

2016 The Alchemical Signs
Shop NowSince medieval times alchemy has always been depicted as a mystical and secretive practice believed to magically create elixirs for a longer, healthier, more soul-satisfying life. While its success remains elusive, the alchemical goal of personal wellness and a nurturing environment is as eagerly sought today as at any time in the past. Within the Urban Collection, The Alchemical Signs series, which finds its origins in Oriental and Egyptian holistic culture, interprets that quest in contemporary shapes and colors. Bright and bold tonal contrasts emphasize vibrancy. Dynamic geometrical shapes conjure up powerful primal totems. They add a visual complement to ACERA LIVEN formulas for enhanced wellness and better living as the distinguishing elements of the Alchemical Signs series.
