Humantra and Samuel Ross's SR_A Launch Carbon Grape Electrolyte with Hand-Blown Glassware
Founded in 2021 by Charlie Wright, the electrolyte brand Humantra has teamed up with design studio SR_A, headed by Samuel Ross, to introduce a new flavor, Carbon Grape. This collaboration features sculptural glass pieces—decanters, vases, and drinking cups—crafted by hand in South London. The flavor draws inspiration from the carbon mineral-rich shores of St Vincent. The glassware's design reflects both St Vincent's volcanic landscapes and the architectural elements of London, such as The Shard and the National Theatre. Ross, who is a customer of Humantra, reached out for the collaboration through Instagram. Yi Ng, Co-Founder & CEO of SR_A, highlighted the opportunity to innovate within the electrolyte market. Humantra's current flavors include Himalayan Lime and Lychee. This article appeared in Wallpaper*, with input from Rosa Bertoli.
