Martini Glass

Vignelli Center

Inspired by the minimalistic and geometric furniture of Lella and Massimo Vignelli, especially the MetaFora table, this design captures the classic essence of martinis. The martini glass features a simple conical cup and a wide cylindrical stem, eliminating the need for a foot. The stem, created using the "incalmo" glass blowing technique, seamlessly joins two differently colored pieces into one form. This design nods to the colorful stacking Hellerware cups designed by the Vignellis in the 1960's.


The three distinct color configurations create a bold palette for sharing a martini with friends. The fusion of minimalist design and vibrant color offers a modern take on a timeless cocktail.
