FINGERS is from the series of glassware called Expanded Intimacy. This series was created to explore touch, taste and smell, and the relationship between hand, mouth, tongue and nose. Developed in collaboration with artist Nuala Clooney, Expanded Intimacy explores the interplay between object and body particularly in relation to the sensualisation of food and drink experiences.

These unique glasses have been used in dining experiences and performances which transgress conventional modes of eating; using food, performance, texture, weight to explore eating as a sensual act. They have been bought by curious diners, as intriguing objects by collectors and by experimental chefs.

The glasses have already been used in some incredible events internationally including Steinbeisser’s Experimental Gastronomy Dinner, Amsterdam (July 2019) with a dish ‘Tamarillo ai-yu’ conceived by chef Andre Chiang; The glasses were used by 2 Michelin star chef Alexandre Gauthier at Palais de Tokyo, Paris on the occasion of the opening of an exhibition by Tomas Saraceno; during Steinbeisser’s Experimental Gastronomy Dinner, Amsterdam (June 2018) with chef Alexandre Gauthier.
