Here is what Evgeny Bushkovsky – the Russian businessman and designer who invented the glass Shtox, told.

Rotating glass for whiskey Shtox appeared due to the fact that I love to go out to bars to meet up with my friends and savor my favorite drink - whiskey. At the same time, watching the people, I often noticed that many people casually, try to wiggle and twist in the hands the glasses with their drinks. However, I always pointed out that people are trying to twist the glasses, which by definition can not spin, because they are simply the most ordinary glasses. Once I had an idea: why not to invent a glass, which could really spin on the table, thus bringing the joy to their owners.

The first spinning glasses from the ordinary manufactured glass, refined per hand by myself, surprised all my friends and got one hundred percent approval. Then I had to spend a lot of time and effort to obtain a patent for an invention and to find the manufacturer who could bring this idea to the finished product. Production costs of these glasses were quite high, because it took the use of manual labor for precision machining of the bottom of each glass. To justify the high cost of glasses, I decided to search for international recognition of my idea by competent people. With this goal, I sent a glass Shtox to the contest Red dot design award. Again I had a bit of luck, and the glass Shtox was recognized by the competent international jury as a winner of Red dot Design Award 2009.
