sferico glassware
Design Joe Colombo, 1968
Clear mouth-blown lead free crystal
Made by Karakter
Joe Colombo believed in democratic and functional design. In his lifetime he designed a wide range of different drinking glasses. Something that seems very to the point as he was said to love drinking and smoking. Unfortunately this undoubtedly contributed to his young demise, but we'd like to think he would be pleased to see that his creations live on.
In 1968 he designed a series of six glasses, all based on geometrical figures. True to his democratic and functional take on design, all the glasses were intended for a wide range of different usage; such as water, long drinks, whisky, wine, beer, juice, champagne, ice cream and so on.
