Do you long for dinners at grandma’s or just love old-fashioned beautiful glass? Then this glassware is made for you. Timeless, elegant, nice to look at and perfect to use for a traditional table setting.
Sällskaplig tableware family has been designed keeping in mind the customers who love to draw inspiration from nostalgic artefacts. In the product design product modularity has been built in and thus the manufacturing process has been optimized. In the design the aim was to create a product family that sits into very different kind of interior settings both private and public. The product family covers different functions in the tableware context. The product family consists of wine and champagne glasses, tumblers, glasses, bowls, plates, coffee cups, a carafe, and a jug.
I'm an enthusiastic glass collector and love flea markets. But even more so, I love to draw inspiration from old things and add a modern twist to them ⎼so designing Sällskaplig glassware was something of a dream project. The shapes and expressions in the series are reminiscent of old times and are perfect for a traditional table setting, but can also be used in new and creative ways. Not least, it is perfect for adding a little luxury to life, maybe on an ordinary Monday!"
