material glass, plastic
source title Achille Castiglioni
info Rubber trims and seals frequently appear in Castiglioni’s lamps. Here, more unexpectedly, a similar trim becomes a distinctive formal and functional feature in a set of glasses and carafe. The tulip form complies with Italian and international standards. The most delicate parts of the glass (stem and foot) are replaced by a cylindrical base. Above it is a groove that houses an elastic shock-proof and drip-proof silicone ring, which comes in various colours and affords a grip for the fingers. The thirty-one-piece set (carafe, tumblers, flutes, wine, liqueur and whisky glasses) are of fine-ground crystal.
