The design inspiration comes from the magnificent hanging gardens of Babylon built by Nebuchadnezzar for his wife Amytis. It is also claimed that these gardens were built by Queen Amytis to make her happy because she missed the green hills and gardens of her homeland. This design was inspired by the vines on each level of the gardens. It was intended to transfer the feeling of holding a bunch of grapes to porcelain. The shape of the cup evokes a bunch of grapes and evokes a tactile sensation. It offers a new usage experience by differentiating the user's experience of using just a cup.
