When beer is poured into the cup, the finely textured interior surface helps create a dense, creamy head of foam. This fine foam layer helps preserve the beer’s delicate aromas and flavors, keeping every sip fresh and enjoyable.
Double-Wall Construction for Both Hot and Cold Drinks
Despite its sleek profile, the cup features a practical double-wall titanium construction. It helps reduce condensation when serving iced drinks, keeping the outside of the cup comfortable and dry. With hot beverages, heat transfer to the exterior is minimized, allowing the cup to be held comfortably by hand. Suitable for both hot and cold drinks, it is designed for year-round use.
A Refined Rim for a Smooth Drinking Experience
The exceptionally slim rim is surprisingly refined for a double-wall cup. HORIE’s advanced titanium welding techniques create a light, smooth drinking edge that sits naturally against the lips, enhancing the overall drinking experience.
HORIE’s Signature Titanium Surface Technology
HORIE’s titanium colors are created using the same principle behind the iridescent colors seen in rainbows and butterfly wings. By precisely controlling the thickness of titanium’s transparent oxide layer at the nanometer level, different colors emerge through optical interference.
Combined with HORIE’s proprietary etching techniques, this process transforms notoriously difficult-to-work titanium into beautifully finished pieces. It is a showcase of the titanium craftsmanship and surface-processing expertise that HORIE has developed and refined in Japan.
Founded in 1984, HORIE Corporation spent two decades obsessing over a single material: titanium. What began as pure research evolved into industry-first color anodization technology — the iridescent blues, purples, and golds on every HORIE tumbler require no dye, only the precise manipulation of a titanium oxide film measured in nanometres. The Titanes series was served at the 2010 APEC Summit. Every piece is still made by hand in Niigata.
