Liquid Skin - Drinking from a Fountain With Bare Hands by Barbara Ambrosz & Karin Stiglmair
The concept of Liquid Skin is based on elementary human gestures of drinking from a fountain with bare hands. The glass functions as a thin layer between one’s hands and liquids. It creates awareness and leads the way to new rituals of drinking. There are two possibilities of positioning the cup on the table - upright or top down. Accordingly it can serve as an everyday design product or a scuplture. The object is an asymmetric oval. There are two indentations on the sides for thumbs or fingers. The cup can be held in any position suitable for drinking purposes.

It presents a clear picture of who we are, what we do and our approach to fountains.
We take great pride in our line of free-standing fountains like the Spiralena pictured below.
Our fountain kits include all the parts required to build a complete fountain.

agree with big in japan. i think a more pertinant use for this item would be scooping up washing powder.

I think it is a pretty unique and well thought-out idea. I have not seen anything like it before that functions in the same way. People tend to hate simple ideas that become successful because they didnt think of it first.
