joe colombo - ‘smoke glass’, 1964


the sculptural shape of this unusual glass
speaks for itself. its unique stem invites you to grasp
the form. the name of the design was born from its
function: with the balance between the forefinger
and the thumb it is possible to hold both the glass
and a cigarette with the same hand.
the cylindrical form is in perfect harmony
with the foot.
the ‘double’, which are two glasses in one make it
possible to turn the glass over for a sip of water
or aperitif.
