As an example, bodum makes coffee / tea glasses with an air space between two walls, insulating the drink, making it easy to hold the glass. How do they make it?

This may or may not be disappointingly simple to you, but the answer is that they literally just make two regular glasses, one slightly smaller than the other, and then melt the rims together. Here’s a link to a video from a Chinese manufacturer where people do this by hand, but the manufacturing process will be the same fundamental steps anywhere, it’s just that they may be done by machines in other countries.
