CIN CIN Unconventional Glasses by Stella Orlandino

Posted by on Sep 14, 2012 in DESIGN, ITALIANS DO IT BETTER

Cin cin! It’s time to raise a celebratory glass to the CIN CIN Unconventional Glasses by Italian designer Stella Orlandino. The collection of eight different glasses is a cast of eight bold personalities, each one with a unique silhouette reflective of their characters in the design. The glasses are hand-crafted by artisan Piero Sarubbi with timeless techniques that ensure each glass is a work of perfection and art. While Alticcio is a glass that holds more its bowl’s worth of wine – the stem and foot hold a few more ounces of the lovely drink – Lacrima is a glass that pouts in a solemn but sly manner, the lip of the glass dramatically displayed. Sbadato’s coif shows a sense of class as its flair rises above the usual, and Tuba is an even more eccentric member with its elephant trunk of a spout attached to the glass. Every wine lover is bound to have a favorite among these eight, but the motley crew is inseparable with their mosaic friendships founded in elegance and ingenuity. Now that is something to drink to!
