Incanter: Redefining the Art of Infusion

A Modern Twist on the Age-Old Ritual of Drinking

The Incanter, designed by Daniele Semeraro under the brand name Sempli, is a unique and innovative approach to infusing flavors into beverages. Breaking away from traditional methods, the Incanter places the infusion tube directly in the liquid, allowing for a more efficient and effective infusion process. The borosilicate infusion rod, with its circular punctures, holds the flavors together while allowing the liquid to flow through, ensuring a thorough mixing of ingredients while keeping them separated.

Unlike traditional infusers that use mesh screens, the Incanter utilizes a lightweight glass rod that is hand-punctured while being turned on a glass blowing lathe. This rod securely fits into the rubber top and custom-designed diagonal mouth of the decanter, allowing the ingredients to settle and effectively infuse the liquid. The use of borosilicate glass not only ensures the durability of the rod but also adds a touch of elegance to the overall design.

The Incanter is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. With Sempli's signature spinning bottom, it presents a new way to infuse your favorite spirits and drinks. Simply cut up your favorite flavors, place them into the infuser tube, pour in your drink of choice, and spin away! The flavors fuse together, creating a unique experience and taste with each use.

Designed with the objective of enhancing the social experience, the Incanter brings personal mixology and entertainment to the home. It provides new pathways for experimentation and stimulates conversation among friends and family. Whether it's infusing alcohol and spirits, creating unique cocktails, or adding flavor to olive oil or salad dressings, the Incanter offers endless possibilities.

The Incanter project started in January 2014 and was completed in October 2014 in Santa Monica, CA. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2015, recognizing its well-designed, practical, and innovative nature. The Incanter's unique design and functionality contribute to a better world by providing fulfillment and positive feelings to its users.

With the Incanter, Sempli has successfully redefined the art of infusion, bringing new flavors to old favorites and revolutionizing the way we socialize and enjoy our drinks. It's a testament to the power of design to enhance our everyday experiences and create new possibilities.
