Borosilicate Glass: Form and Function

DESIGN WITHOUT LIMITS

It began in 2001 with the Revolution Collection; a double-ended glass that could only be achieved through this specialized production method using borosilicate glass, rather than traditional hot glass molding or crystal. This breakthrough opened new possibilities, leading to numerous collections that challenge the archetype of what defines a drinking glass, with performance and museum-quality design.

Working at the technical limits of their craft, our master artisans create complex pieces that achieve an appearance of effortless simplicity.

PROVENANCE

The Czech Republic has been the heart of European glassmaking for centuries, home to the legendary Bohemian glass tradition where generations of artisans have perfected techniques passed down through families. Our pieces are created in one of the most historic glassmaking towns, where this craft tradition continues unbroken. These skilled craftsmen, working with methods refined over generations, bring our contemporary designs to life through their mastery of flameworking techniques that cannot be replicated by industrial production.

HANDCRAFTED PRECISION

Each piece is made without a mold, hand-shaped by flamework on a lathe, similar to how a potter uses a pottery wheel, using only a caliper and a well-trained eye. While every piece is unique, our artisans maintain precision within each production series with a tolerance of just a couple of millimeters—a testament to centuries of inherited expertise.

DESIGNED FOR USE

Dishwasher safe. Care-free maintenance without clouding, etching, or special care requirements.

Thermal shock resistance. Handles dramatic temperature changes that would shatter ordinary glass. Use confidently with both hot and cold beverages without temperature restrictions, from hot tea or coffee to an iced cocktail

Resilience. Stronger and more chip-resistant than crystal, pieces withstand use without careful handling.

Clarity. Exceptional optical properties provide clarity. Your beverages appear as intended—clear and unfiltered.
