[ Good Stuff ]

天気の良い土曜日の原宿を人の多さにムカつきながら歩いただけの事あってトリコで良い買い物が出来ました。ワインボトルをナイスにリサイクルした（ボトルの半分から下だけの）グラスです。手の小さい人には持ちずらいかもしれないけど私と相棒にはしっくりきてます～。お互いのクリスマスプレゼントという事で6客ゲット。デザインはグリーングラス。

We did a good shopping at open by trico. It was worth walking along Harajuku on a nice sunny Saturday afternooon being annoyed by many people! Nicely recycled wine bottle (using the bottom half) to a glass. It might be difficult to hold for small hands but they are good on our hands! We bought 6 glasses for us as a Xmas present. Designed by Green Glass.

どんなオシャレなデザイナーが作ったのかと思いきや、なんとリサイクル団体みたいな会社が作ってました。1992年に南アフリカで始まったグリーングラスの活動がアメリカ、イギリス、ドイツへと世界的に広まったようです。彼らのサイトを見るとあまりのダサさにビックリ。危険なデザイン物がほとんど。このシンプルなグラス選んで素敵に売ってたトリコはリッパ。

I was wondering which cool designer made these glasses. But these were made by recycling corporation. Green glass started in South Africa in 1992 and expanded across the world, US, UK and Germany. I was very shocked about their web site. It's terrible. Bad taste! It is a splendid job for Trico to chose simple one, selling them as cool stuff.

I think I know another designer who makes similar glasses out of recycled bottles. Alex Rich told me about them. I know Trico sells them as well but don't think these are by Green Glass. It was a friend of Alex's ? He recommended to sell them in my shop and I was very interested but it kind of fizzled out. Should find out about them. They are very cool. He made wine glasses out of the top half of the bottles as well.

I think you are talking about transglass. I liked thier jug but we didn't buy one. I never needed a jug... You should sell them. The wine glass one is done by Green Glass だよ。
