ENCUENTRO Drinking glasses

ENCUENTRO begins with the act of coming together and celebrates the ritual of sharing a drink. Across cultures and countries, drinking is more than a functional act: it is a moment of connection, celebration, conversation and presence. From this shared ritual, we developed a family of drinking glasses designed to adapt to different beverages and contexts, creating a universal collection that can move between cultures without belonging to only one. Each form responds to a different way of drinking while maintaining a common visual language. The collection combines contemporary product design with Mexican craftsmanship, using local materials and working with local artisans to bring each piece to life. ENCUENTRO explores how an everyday object can become a point of connection, linking culture, material, tradition and people through one simple gesture: sharing a drink.
