TRAGA, a new Milanese design brand identified with the slogan ‘redefining core utility objects,’ strives to reconsider the items within our homes. With a focus on vibrant glassware and tableware, the products are designed to be multipurpose and informal, made to spark a conversation over the table. The debut project, Martini Shot Glass, is a bifunctional glass which on one side is perfect for Martini cocktails, and on the other can be used for shots when flipped. Committed to sustainability across all facets of the TRAGA brand, the products are recyclable, starting from the packaging — crafted from recycled cardboard — to the design objects themselves which prioritize use of borosilicate glass (Pyrex). This ensures an infinitely reusable material palette that minimizes waste and environmental impact with its extended life cycle.

The brand’s name TRAGA originates from Proto-Slavic, signifying the act of leaving a trace or mark — such as the subtle stains and imprints that glassware leaves on table linens after a vibrant evening. Each of the Martini Shot Glasses is crafted from borosilicate glass, known for its durability and resistance to hot and cold temperatures, and available in four colorways: amber-lilac, blue-pink, teal-blue, and transparent. Each color is carefully chosen by designer Daniel Nikolovski to foster a dialogue between classic and contemporary colors in glassware.
