Design Details
The lower part of each glass carries substantial weight, giving stability and a distinctive visual depth. The upper section becomes lighter and thinner toward the rim, creating a strong contrast between mass and delicacy.
When placed against darker surfaces, the heavy base produces layered reflections and almost lens like distortions inside the glass. The effect changes constantly depending on viewing angle and surrounding light.
