Long Distance Glass
One of the reasons why I adore Li Jianye’s works is his simplistic approach to design. Be it the original Flexibin or the iShelf; both exude charm, wit and thoughtful detailing. This time around he has a functional toy for us, The Telescup, a set of drinking glasses that coordinate to become an impromptu telescope. Now isn’t this what we call clever!

It is clever and maybe good and fun for adult, but this should not be for children considering that it is glass.

I do love calcium deposits and spots on my refractive lenses. It adds a dreamy otherworldly lack of focus to something which is supposed to be all about focus.

I might try this, well once. Than I know it’s there and I’ll never use it again. Let alone how it will look after a year of use.
It’s too gimmicky to use it.

This is very interesting !
Simple and fun. Not gone be the new hubble but could well be a piece on my table !

Very interesting observation.

Ever wonder why all telescopes aren’t clear on there sides? Cause it will distort the image when light leaks in from the sides and hence won’t work.

Clear sides on the tube would make for difficult viewing. There is a reason why most telescopes have opaque frames unless used for night viewing.
Cool idea though.
