NUDE Hepburn Shaker with Metal Top

Aeration, in one gesture.

The Hepburn range was drawn for NUDE by Brad Ascalon — a New York designer, Pratt-trained, named one of Wallpaper’s ten most wanted while still in his twenties — who works to a single rule: the precise balance of form, function and concept, and nothing decorative beyond it. Named for the style icon; built for a working bar.

The shaker is the other half of the craft. Seventeen ounces of crystal under a polished copper-finish top — sweeping curves, a weighted base, and enough glass to watch the drink change as it goes. Shaking does what stirring cannot: it aerates, it chills hard and fast, it lifts a citrus build into something with texture. Where the mixing glass keeps a drink composed, the shaker wakes it up.
