Kickstarter: Crucial Detail - Nip

Last Fall I supported a Kickstarter campaign by Crucial Detail for a drink vessel called The Porthole. Tumblers were also designed to accompany the Porthole. I ordered two additional sets as a back up (8 glasses total).

I haven't received my Porthole but I didn't mind as the tumblers were a work of art.

Kickstarter: The Porthole

Last month I made an investment in something truly innovative and pretty darn cool. Martin Kastner of Crucial Details (the guy who designs the cool tableware for Alinea and Next), set up a campaign on Kickstarter to bring his latest design, the Porthole, to the masses. He needed an initial investment of $28, 500 and ended up with $736,113! 4,270 backers made an investment and we're all patiently waiting to receive our very own infusion vessel.

Below is a short video that describes the story behind the Porthole.

I don't normally do product reviews but as soon as I get this sucker at the end of November, I will definitely write a blog post on it.
