Kkis by Martin Jakobsen

On first sight it is probably hard to guess but Kkis is an ice cream canapé, the first one ever to be precise. This elegant innovation truly is what one would call “tasty” design.

The hand blown ice-cream cup with the long steam is definitely a way to impress your dinner guests not only with delicious meals, but also in terms of extravagant design.

Martin Jakobsen, a Czech student at the Technical University of Liberec’s Department of Design, is the creative mind behind this innovative after-dinner-desert tableware. Only in 2010 he founded “Jakobsen Design” and starting form last year he already produced several successful items for the Danish Brand Mojoo.

Influenced by minimalism and a penchant for finding innovative solutions, the young designer perfectly embodies the brand philosophy of creating detailed work in terms of simple yet functional and esthetic design. Kkis not only looks elegant but also brings back the fun of eating ice cream. Its unique form, reminding us a little bit of an oversized lollipop, substitutes the old, often mushy ice-cream cone and is not as boring as nibbling out of a regular cup. If you let your creativity play you can even use the unique stemware for sorbets and various entrées to pimp your dining table.

This admirable bouquet of ice-cream canapé glasses perfectly combines contemporary design with indulgence, so lets hope to see more them soon!
