APERITIVO
You are just arrived. The beach.
The atmosphere is sparkling, all the people is dancing, chatting and having fun.
You take a drink, and you lie down on the soft golden sand.
The sun is going to set soon, and the night is coming.
The concept: this is a pair of flip-flops with two round shapes on the top.
When you are at the beach you can sit down and put your glass on them.
They become a sort of flat "table", very stylish indeed, ideal to support glasses, dishes and all the aperitifs you like.
On the other hand "fLIP_fLOP APERITIVO" have a modern, distinctive and ergonomic design, which makes them good for walking and relaxing.
Materials are natural and ecological (leather, midollino, rattan), and they can be chosen from a wide range of options.

Coaster Flip-Flops, So Your Drink Doesn’t Fall In The Sand
I always knew flip-flops were missing something. I just couldn't put my finger on what it was. Now I know.
This pair of Aperitivo Flip Flops from designer Tommaso Colia fashions the footwear into a usable coaster, fitted with a circular cup holder built onto the surface. That means, when you sit on the sand, you can put it right next to you and use it to keep your beer upright. Basically, it turns erstwhile regular flip-flops into a two-in-one (well, three-in-one if you count killing cockroaches with it).
Both feet of the flip-flops get their own cup holder, allowing you to always have enough coasters for two. The design envisions leather, midollino and rattan as materials for the open footwear, though, there's no guarantee of comfort for those gaping holes at the heel.
If you've ever sat to relax on the sand with a drink in tow, you know how difficult it is to keep your glasses, bottles and cups upright. The coaster flip-flops sure make that undertaking a bit easier, though not entirely perfect.
Should you have stinky feet, for instance, you'll end up drinking from a nasty-smelling cup - not the most appetizing way to spend the early evenings on a tropical resort. The sand usually slopes on many beaches, too, which means the flip-flop isn't likely to be perfectly horizontal when you set it down, forcing you to dig through the sand a little to even it up.
By the way, don't let the Quiksilver brand confuse you - it's unofficial. The pictured Aperitivo Flip Flops are design concepts only, but they look too simple to manufacture that we'll probably see them soon. Combine this with a bottle opener on the side and you'll have your own autonomous footwear-based drinking station.

The Perfect Pair of Beach Flippy-Floppies
I’m not much of a flip-flop or sandal guy, but my fiancee really digs them. When she’s not working, flip-flops are usually her shoe of choice, so needless to say, on trips to the beach, she’s flip-flop obsessed.
These Aperitivo Flip Flops designed by Tommaso Colia feature a circular cup holder built right into the shoes design. When your chilling out on the beach, sipping on your favorite summery beverage, these flip-flops would serve as a great way to hold your drink upright. No gurantee that the big hole in the heel is the most comfortable modification ever.

Flip Flop Aperitivo, sandalias para…
… Para ir cómodos en verano y para dejar los vasos en la playa como si de una mesa se tratara.
Sandalias para varios usos, que son un proyecto de un tal Tommaso Colia y que dice que son “súper ergonómicas y comodisísimas” y que además nos sacan del apuro de la inestabilidad de la arena de la playa a la hora de tomarnos un “refresquín”.
Vamos, que Flip Flop Aperitivo es un posavasos que te puedes poner en los pies, ¿no? Pues eso
