Reverso by Sacha Walckhoff for Verreum
Verreum presents a new tableware collection titled Reverso, which has been designed by Sacha Walckhoff.
Finding his inspiration in the craftsmanship of glass blowers in the Nový Bor Verreum manufacturing facility, Walckhoff interpreted this traditional art in a creative manner. The result was the playful and fun collection of glassware, Reverso. Looking to the design of the collection, it brings the best from Verreums proud heritage and Walckhoff’s imaginative mind.
The mouth-blown collection consists of five glasses and three vases in a translucent and silver coated look that is available in a variety of colours. The playful design of the collection allows for a versatile use. Vases can be matched or assembled and turned upside down changing their use, when they are not containing flowers, to photophores and glass lanterns. The glasses in the collection follow the same principle. When turned upside down the champagne flute becomes a tumbler and the white wine glass, a coffee cup.
Prague-based Verreum prides itself in reviving the tradition of Czech glass manufacturing and craftsmanship, which its country is known for. Re-inventing the forgotten technique, particularly that of the unique silvered glass production, Verreum became the first brand to put Prague on the world map of design. Their collections play an important role in the history of the traditional technique.
Reverso will be on display during Milano Design Week until Sunday 19 April 2015 at Barbara Frigerio Gallery on Via del Orso, Milan, Italy.
