This iconic form for the water vessel and the cup was born by playing and connecting two conical volumes. 

Thanks to the nature of this shape, we are able to build glass towers like the buildings we see in cities. Its unique detail for the connection point was achieved by studying a way to fuse two elements in glass.

The matching carafe from the series allows the tumblers to nest inside of the top of creating a unique storage opportunity as well as acting as a lid. 

Dishwasher safe.
