There’s little more satisfying than “cheersing” with a big cold beer, and the camaraderie of friends.

Japanese design firm Nendo wanted to perfect that art, with a beer glass distinctly formed to create a perfect clinking sound.

Collaborating with Sapporo brewery, the unique glasses have a bell shaped bottom that create a charming ringing after they’re clinked together. 🍻

Apparently the team went to great lengths to perfect the glassware to create such a resonant sound.

“The size and thickness of this base were refined over numerous iterations to achieve the optimal tone and resonance when the glasses are brought together.

Crystal glass was used to achieve the perfect clarity of sound. The pieces are manufactured in the Czech Republic by artisans capable of working to tolerances as precise as 0.1 millimetres.
