Floating
A combination container for sake
Within the Advanced Design and Processes workshop with Ichendorf, the students of the Master in Product Design Minratsayakun Thanapongwattana, Yuhang Chen and Yuqi Ma, have designed ‘Floating’ a combination container for sake.
Sake is divided into hot sake and cold sake. Unlike whiskey, sake needs to be isolated from ice cubes, otherwise the melted ice cubes will affect the taste of sake. The students designed a container for cooling sake based on this goal, allowing ice cubes to float on sake, making it more interesting.

Floating consists of two parts, one big and one small (one part is used to hold sake, and the other part is used to place ice cubes). The small one has two hanging structures on both sides. The big one cuts two gaps with a hot tube. Correspondingly, first pour the drink into the big container, and then put ice cubes in a small container and put it into the gap. The suspension structure has two blocking designs, so that it will not shake from side to side but retains the design of floating and moving. When in use, the small container will always keep it in the correct position without affecting the use.
The goal of the project is to fill the vacant market, novel and unique design, increase the fun, and the interactive process with the product, try different design methods, shape and color matching under the premise of ensuring functionality.
