The first thing I thought when I read about the new project from British designer Kacper Hamilton was, "How many times has this guy seen the movie Se7en?" The second thing I thought was, "How the hell do you drink out of such funky glasses?"
Hamilton's "7 Deadly Glasses" is a set of bizarre red wine glasses based on the 7 Deadly Sins. The one representing sloth, the fourth sin, is pictured here. It's an especially apt design since someone has to turn the the valve at the bottom so the sinner can drink. The glasses representing the other sins seem much more difficult to drink from. I'm not sure if it's because these sins are considered deadlier or what. Take wrath; it's a glass that has a teardrop shape hollow cut out of the top. It looks impossible to drink out of without cutting one's face.

Oh heck, am I seeing the "lust" goblet correctly?
Does it basically have a mouth on it that you have to work like a gerbil works his water bottle? With the ball that you push back to get a drink?
You'll notice that they don't have any wine in that one, and she's not drinking. If I'm seeing it correctly, i don't think it would make me very lusty to drink out of that.
Envy made me giggle though.

You'll have to drink some 7 Deadly Zins out of these glasses.
