Giulio Iacchetti has designed the four measures encircling a ring which are usually used in preparing cocktails, thinking back in his design to the very gesture of dosing. Iacchetti gives rise to new gestures: a tool that fuses organically with the fluid movements of the mixologist. The 4 measures are etched inside showing the capacity in cl: 1.5cl [0.5oz] , 3cl [1oz], 4 cl [1.4 oz], 6cl [2 oz]

About the Tending Box: The collection of articles for preparing cocktails designed by Giulio lacchetti with bartender Oscar Quagliarini.
In a balanced synthesis of form and function, the most classic tools of this 'discipline' have been reinterpreted: cocktail shaker, bar strainer, mixing glass, cocktail measure, mixing spoon and bar stirrer.
Thanks to Oscar Quagliarini's accurate innovative suggestions, this project rethinks the very gestures of mixology, introducing new technical features and refined aesthetic details from the knob of the Parisienne shaker, which assures a precise and secure grip, to the double spring of the strainer which allows for accurate modulation of the straining, and the "Quadri Combo Jigger" which reinterprets the traditional cocktail measure, creating a new type with innovative performance.
