Bubble Bucket: A Contemporary Twist on the Iconic Ice Bucket

Reimagining the Classic Ice Bucket with a Fizzy Flair

The Bubble Bucket, designed by Pierre Koukjian, is a unique and contemporary take on the iconic ice bucket. Inspired by the overflowing bubbles of a fizzy glass of champagne, this handmade sculptural piece combines functionality with artistic flair.

Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Bubble Bucket starts with a clay and wood model, which is carefully shaped and refined. Numerous revisions and adjustments are made to achieve the desired aesthetic form. Once the model is perfected, resin is delicately poured into the mold, creating a transparent effect. The final step involves sanding, polishing, and giving the bucket a natural oil bath, resulting in a stunning display piece.

Measuring 30 x 55 x 70 cm, the Bubble Bucket serves as an ice bucket to keep your drinks chilled during parties and gatherings. Its overblown size and bubble-inspired design make it a conversation starter and a focal point of any event.

The design process for the Bubble Bucket involved extensive research and exploration of the market. The goal was to create a unique ice bucket that didn't already exist, while ensuring it was aesthetically pleasing. Overcoming this challenge, Pierre Koukjian and his team crafted a design that seamlessly blends functionality and artistry.

Manufacturing each Bubble Bucket takes over a month in Geneva, Switzerland. The dedication and craftsmanship put into every piece ensure its high quality and attention to detail. The Bubble Bucket is proudly displayed at the SINCE gallery in Geneva, showcasing its status as a work of art.

The Bubble Bucket has received recognition for its innovative design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2018 in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware, and Cookware Design category. This prestigious award is given to designs that meet professional and industrial requirements, integrating industry best practices and technical characteristics.

With its unique blend of functionality and artistic appeal, the Bubble Bucket is a must-have for those who appreciate design and enjoy hosting memorable gatherings. Its registered design in Europe and Switzerland ensures its exclusivity and intellectual property rights.
