Dubai : Atlantis, The Palm and Moet & Chandon partnered with Dutch events company Luuk Broos to built the world’s largest drinking glass pyramid.
The structure features 54,740 flutes and is 8.23 metres tall, breaking the previous Guinness World Record of 50,116 glasses, set in Madrid in 2017 at the resort’s Asateer Tent.
Lotte Broos, event manager of Luuk Broos, said they spent five days to build the structure, she says. “For this tower, the stems of the glasses are actually a little higher than we’re used to and this made building it a lot harder to complete.”
“We built the tower using scaffolding, so we will put this back up and take each glass off one by one until they are all back in the box,” says Broos. “This usually takes about a day.”
In line with the hotel’s sustainability initiative, the 54,740 glasses will then be recycled by a local glassblower and transformed into glassware for Atlantis, The Palm’s rooms and suites.
