5-in-1 Glassware Set
by Joe Colombo, from karakter
5-in-1 glassware set
Design Joe Colombo, 1970
Clear mouth-blown lead free crystal
Made in Denmark by Karakter
Italian industrial designer Joe Colombo pursued a career in painting and sculpture before he transitioned to design in the 1950s. In even the most functional homeware pieces, Colombo's artistic background shines through in the sculptural silhouettes he creates.
Such is the case with 5-in-1, a set of mouth-blown glasses that neatly intertwine. Featuring five pieces, originally intended as a cognac class, a white wine glass, a red wine glass, a grappa glass, and a water glass. Each has a markedly different shape and purpose. Using that diversity to his advantage, Colombo's ingenious design ensures that the glasses can be inserted into each other in order to form one transparent sculpture.
As well as its aesthetic appeal, the 5-in-1 is a highly practical design. Once stacked, the glasses reduce storage space, making it an ideal piece for smaller kitchens.
#1: 1.5" dia | 4.4" h
#2: 2.5" dia | 3.9" h
#3: 2.4" dia | 3.4" h
#4: 2.9" dia | 2.75" h
#5: 4" dia | 2.4" h

Joe Colombo
Cesare "Joe" Colombo’s educational career in painting began in 1949 at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, and studied afterwards until 1954 Architecture at Politecnico di Milano University. In 1951, he joined the Movimento Nucleare, founded by Sergio D´Angelo and Enrico Baj as both an active painter and sculptor within abstract Expressionism. After joining the Art Concept Group in 1955, Colombo gave up painting to promote his design career. In 1959, Colombo had to take over the family company, which produced electric appliances, and started to experiment with new construction and production technologies.
