In his designs, H 0/00berli manages to unite tradition with innovation, joy and energy. His upbringing in a family of hoteliers and restaurant people inspired and showed him the way in his work with Essence, a new wine glass series.

A wine carafe has two functions. It should allow the wine to breathe, in order to release the flavours and bouquet that have been locked inside the wine; and it should let light ignite the ruby-red brilliance of a vintage wine. Designers Citterio and Nguyen have created a mouth-blown decanter with every element reduced to its purest, most essential functional purpose. With lines this pure and well-balanced, the decanter stands perfectly together with our various wine glasses.
