The carafe’s wide bottom that converts into a very slender neck creates a soft and organic shape. The same shape is mirrored in the drinking glass, which doubles as a lid for the carafe itself. Whether the two are placed next to each other or with the glass upside down on top, the shape of the set has a fascinating and eye-catching appeal. Glass Carafe The carafe's transformation from a wide bottom to a slender neck creates a soft, organic shape, echoed in the accompanying drinking glass, which ingeniously doubles as a lid. Whether placed side by side or with the glass inverted atop the carafe, the set's shape captivates with its intriguing allure. Aldo Bakker's design practice is marked by an unwavering fascination with gestures – whether it be a simple line, a form, or their harmonious combination. Bakker's creations communicate through a delicate interplay of color, association, touch, texture, and materiality, achieving a rare sense of balance that is both strange and familiar. His designs are timeless and sculptural, meticulously crafted to evoke responses. Product Material Clear mouth-blown le
