A range of glassware that merges the simple with the complex and classic with contemporary the Lucaris’ RIMS collection has deservedly won the Design Excellence Award (DEmark) by the Department of International Trade Promotion, Ministry of Commerce in Thailand.
Fitting into Gen Z’s dining preferences
We all know the saying ‘we eat with our eyes first’, and Lucaris RIMS takes that to heart. This collection offers a delightful new way to elevate your beverage experience. With a variety of shapes, designs, and collections catering to diverse needs and preferences, Lucaris RIMS elevates your beverage experience from the very first glance. “They visually enhance your drink, making it even more inviting and appealing. But the beauty of the Lucaris RIM goes beyond aesthetics. The thoughtful design of each glass can also subtly influence the taste and aroma of your drink. Certain shapes can concentrate or disperse aromas, while others may guide the flow of the beverage across your tongue, creating a more nuanced and enjoyable tasting experience,” says Magandeep Singh, Wine Sommelier, Columnist and Lucaris Brand Influencer.
The Collection
RIMS Collection by Lucaris ticks the three important boxes – they are attractive, durable, and value for money. This winning combination makes them a perfect fit for both hospitality settings like hotels and restaurants, where aesthetics and functionality are key. “Lucaris RIMS are just as delightful for home use. You can enjoy your favourite beverages, such as a simple glass of juice or a fancy cocktail, in the comfort of your own home, elevated by the beauty and practicality of Lucaris RIMS. Whether you are indulging in a classic cocktail or a refreshing mocktail, Lucaris crystalware elevates the experience from the first sip to the last. For me, even the most basic fruit juice transforms into a delightful beverage when presented in a beautiful glass. The visual appeal adds another layer of enjoyment to your drink, making every sip even more satisfying. The clarity of the glass allows you to fully appreciate the vibrant colours of your drink, while the shape can subtly influence the aroma and taste,” says Singh. For instance, a well-designed short fluted cocktail glass like RIMS Orient Deco or RIMS Classic Deco can concentrate the aromas of the spirits, allowing you to savour the full complexity of the drink. So, with Lucaris, you are treating yourself to a more complete and enjoyable beverage experience.
Contemporary Cues
The world is changing and long-held traditions are being questioned and often upturned. Gen Z is at the forefront of this movement, embodying the spirit of innovation. The notion is not just limited to technology or social norms; it is even reaching something as seemingly ordinary as glassware. “Shaking up the status quo with a refreshing perspective, Gen Z has a new take on drinkware, prioritising both style and functionality. The RIMS collection by Lucaris features modern shapes and innovative designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also enhance the way you hold and enjoy your beverage. This generation understands that function and beauty can go together, and the RIM collection embodies this philosophy perfectly,” says Singh. Breathing new life into an age-old tradition, Gen Z is proving that even the simplest things can be improved with a touch of creativity and innovation.
Making the Difference
With a look and feel like no other, one can experience the difference of Lucaris RIMS when it is actually held. “Hold a Lucaris RIMS glass and discover the delightful feeling in your hand. The smooth, elegant design and carefully crafted form are not just for show. They provide a tactile experience that adds another layer of enjoyment to your beverage. The weight is perfectly balanced, and the rim is designed to be comfortable to hold, enhancing the way you cradle and sip your drink. But the benefits go beyond just comfort. The clarity of the glass allows you to fully appreciate the visual spectacle of your beverage, while the design can subtly influence the aroma and taste,” says Singh. For instance, a well-designed wine glass such as Cabernet from the Desire collection can help to direct the flow of the wine across your tongue, highlighting different flavour profiles. The RIMS collection transforms your drinking experience into a multi-dimensional journey for your senses. So are you ready to raise a toast with these RIMS glasses?
