The Austrian architect/designer Adolf Loos completed a similar set of drinking glasses in 1931. The base of each glass
originally featured a geometric pattern. Loos requested that glassware company Lobmeyr in time replaced his pattern
with illustrations of the likes of the human form, butterflies and small animals.
Sagmeister & Walsh have expanded Loos's concept to include illustrations of the Seven Deadly Sins and Seven
Heavenly Virtues by Kate Copeland. The images reveal themselves upon finishing a drink, coming not only as a
pleasant surprise to the user but perhaps as a spark for a dinner time discussion about Good and Evil. This work can be found at:Sagmeister & Walsh
