In that case, wouldn’t you just love having a set of champagne flutes designed by the remarkable Karl Lagerfeld? The world wide famous designer has re imagined these classical, traditional pieces, which with Holiday season on the way, are ready to be the protagonists of many elegant drinking scenes, filled with sparkle literally and metaphorically.

This beautiful glassware collection was designed by Peter Svarrer for Holmegaard for over a decade ago. Back then it represented his answer to the water glass of the future, hence the name. No doubt, his elegant design still holds up today.
In addition, the collection also includes an array of delicate glassware, such as jug/carafe, champagne and wine glasses – some mouth blown, some machine made – all in various sizes and soft transparent colors. Continue reading
Imagine… You’re sitting down for an alfresco meal, you have delicious food on the table, a bottle of wine, candles, the whole lot. There’s only one thing missing – a fresh cool drink to start with. The Fontana Water Carafe is just what you need to serve your guests in style and leave them wanting more. Continue reading
This Stemware Rack, from Cuisipro, is an elegant drying rack that will let you air dry and display wine glasses or champagne flutes in a stylish, sophisticated way. The arms of the rack are angled to securely cradle a variety of glasses; durable, frosted plastic “fingers” at the ends of the arms protect glass from scratches and chips. A sturdy, wide basin catches water drops as your stemware dries. The easy-to-grasp top knob makes it easy to move the rack from the countertop to the bar or table. With a capacity for 8 glasses, you can be assured you’ll have enough for your next dinner party. Continue reading
The idea behind design is to serve a useful item in the most tasteful way, literally. Meaning, to create the desire for more of the same. This beautiful Rocking Glass set, from Normann Copenhagen, does exactly that – you want more of it and you want more of what it does.
This is a simple drinking glass with a twist – a curved bottom that prevents the glass from falling over, allowing it to rock but not to spill. Perfect for cocktail parties, this is indeed a refreshing take on the so called “simple” item that is the drinking glass. Use it to serve drinks or simply as a decorative item, completed with a tea light or a little flower. Continue reading

The Cipher glass managed to surprise me with its’ engaging quality of identifying my drink of choice. Continue reading
I simply love these Pavina porcelain cups from Bodum. They have a different “saying” to them, a really refreshing style combined with functionality and chic.

This designer collection will make a wonderful addition to any table setting as it brings a splash of color and a cheerful ambiance. Continue reading
A glass is not always just a glass. It should create the right environment for the drink, giving the drinking action an entire new meaning. The H2O designer glass set, from Riedel, is all about quality and class. This dishwasher-safe set features longdrink/highball glasses – tall cylindrical shapes crafted from finely cut, lead-free transparent glass.
Each glass stands 5-5/8 inches high and holds 22-7/8 ounces-ample dimensions that give the vessel a spacious yet structural presence to showcase the beverage and ice within. A simple yet highly designed collection, Riedel’s H20 barware subtly conveys upscale urban cool. Continue reading
