Are Plastic Glasses Still Getting a Mixed Reception?
Pubs in the UK could soon be serving new safer pint glasses after two key manufacturers confirmed they are trialling prototypes inspired by the governments Design Out Crime scheme. 2 revolutionary prototype pint glasses have been designed to reduce the injuries caused by glassing attacks.
Being trialled at different various venues the brief challenged designers to rethink the traditional pub pint glass to overcome the resistance faced by the current plastic-based alternatives.
The designs represent the first major advance in pub glassware since the 1960s and feature new high-tech ways of using glass, so they feel the same as conventional glasses, but crucially do not create loose, dangerous shards if broken.
We are interested to hear your thoughts.
