Although today’s find is a bit old, it’s still popping up here and there and I couldn’t resist taking a closer look after re-watching Se7en the other day. Based on the seven deadly sins, London-based artist Kacper Hamilton has created red wine glasses to help you feel theatrical during your alcoholic binge sessions. Wait, isn’t gluttony one of the sins? The gluttony glass is shaped just like your fat uncles flabby belly, while wrath appears to have been cut on a strange diagonal, and greed resembles an octopus. Envy is also worth noting due to the many holes which will make you spill your vino all over your albino chinchilla skin rug.
Lack of utility aside, these works of art are meant as conversational pieces more than anything else. Hamilton contests that: “the 7 Deadly Glasses are about celebrating passion and encouraging the user to be sinful in a theatrical fashion.” The display case is a sarcophagus for the wine glasses, made using mahogany wood, brass fittings and a velvet fabric lining. Just don’t get your conservative friends these for their upcoming nuptials, or you might end up with their wrath.
