HANDMADE IN ITALY
These vintage-inspired water glasses work just as well if you’re serving a cocktail in them. Surprisingly lightweight, combine these with our Velasca Carafe for a stylish and sustainable set.
This glassware is crafted from Swiss borosilicate glass, known for its pure, durable quality. Borosilicate glass is some of the most resilient glass in the world; known for its incredible ability to withstand extreme temperature changes without cracking or scratching due to the low thermal expansion in the chemical structure of the glass.
The pieces are shaped using traditional mouth blowing technique; the innovation of design comes from modern shapes inspired by aesthetics of rationalist and modernist architecture whilst respecting its functionality. The result gives each piece a simple elegance.
These special pieces were crafted in a workshop run by third-generation glassblowers called R+D Lab in Italy. Made entirely by artisan hands, each piece is unique and has been created to stand the test of time—both in terms of their timeless design and their unequivocal durability. If handled with care, they will last a lifetime.

R+D.LAB
R+D.LAB is an Italian creative studio founded in 2006 by Jay Vosoghi & Sara Mostofi. They unite modern aesthetics, traditional manufacturing and purposeful design to create homeware pieces informed by architecture, art, and design.
Complimenting their collection of glassware is their equally as impressive collection of earthenware ceramics. Each piece from their dinnerware collection is handcrafted and glazed using traditions that date back centuries. Made from pure, high-quality materials, the design is inspired by colours and shapes that are reminiscent of the ceramic aesthetic of the 1970s.
The company prides itself on working closely with its artisans and craftsmen: “Together, we work as a team to create highly distinctive products that are functional, sustainable and meaningful for a modern life.”
