Kos "rocket"- 5 kos
Picture: Gabriel Attab
Materiel: Silver 925 and gold
In this final series of kiddush glasses (still unfinished), I have adhered to the same five principles applied in the previous three collections (tube, triangle, and mini). The base here is shaped like a 'rocket' and is designed to hold a substantial amount of liquid. Naturally, it requires support to maintain its balance.

Details & pictures
Kos 1: Fusee + Sphere
Based on my rocket-shaped glass, which is unstable and relatively heavy due to the use of 925 silver, I soldered three spheres of different sizes to support it.
Slightly off-centered and modest in scale, these spheres manage to keep the Kos stable, even when filled — preferably with good wine.
I appreciate the slight challenge in finding its balance, along with its minimalist and asymmetrical aesthetic.
However, if you prefer more security, I can reposition the spheres to maximize stability.

Kos 3: The frame
Here, the frame is removable and designed to accommodate the glass.
I wanted to create a Kos that could be easily detached, passed from hand to hand during the Kiddush, and then effortlessly placed back onto its support — like settling into a small structural nest.
Using several dozen meters of silver tubing, I built this base by soldering each segment one by one, following a logic of load distribution.
The structure is designed to offer maximum stability to the glass, even when filled, thanks to five contact points arranged to ensure balance on any flat surface.
Kos 4: Tsadik
With this folded metal plate, designed to hold different Kiddush cups, I once again sought to evoke the shape of the Hebrew letter Tsadik.
The base, made of nickel silver, was crafted in a simple and direct way, staying true to its function while also responding to the specific form of this glass.
