With the launch of their Kickstarter campaign this July, the first wireless LevitatingCUP will be entering homes and commercial bars everywhere.
The LevitatingCUP is a sophisticated drinkware system that defies gravity with no strings attached. It consists of two parts, a cup and a base, that use advanced electromagnetic suspension technology to keep one’s spirits lifted.
What makes the LevitatingCUP even more groundbreaking is that it is the first electromagnetic suspension device in the world to be completely portable. They’ve integrated a chargeable battery into the base in order to deliver style along with a delicious beverage to any table in the room.
Simply align the cup above the base and watch as it gracefully floats and rotates, completely weightless, until that next sip. Beverages can be poured and then placed above the base, or drizzled into the cups from on high and carried to their desired location.
Backers of the Kickstarter project will be able to pair a wired or wireless levitating system of their choice with any of the glassware styles or other add-ons that are unlocked throughout the campaign. Potential add-ons include different colored bases as well as more glassware and display choices, including the LevitatingPLATE and LevitatingPILLOW.
The LevitatingCUP was created by Joel Paglione, veteran inventor of the Oak Bottle, the world’s first small scale barrel aging device. Inspired by those who love cocktails, mixology, molecular gastronomy, and experiential dining, he has now created an experience that takes the time-honored tradition of cocktail hour to a whole new level.
