The Glass Carafe drinking glass set from Karakter is part of an elegant collection, designed by Aldo Bakker, both in shape and name based on Bakker's playful glass carafe.
The first design of this series is from 2000, but it remained hidden in Bakker's prototype archive for more than twenty years until the Danish brand Karakter started producing it.
The glasses have a wonderfully playful, organic shape created by the hand-blown glass, making each piece unique with small variations in the shape and thickness of the glass.
The set is dishwasher safe, making it ideal not only for festive special occasions, but also for taking the everyday to the next level: even a glass of water is guaranteed to taste better if you drink it from a nice glass!

About the designer:
Aldo Bakker, born in 1971, is known for creating designs whose function is not always immediately clear, but require a little more observation. Instead of just being used, he wants his designs to evoke feelings; he often incorporates unusual and surprising, but at the same time vaguely familiar elements into his creations.
Many of Aldo Bakker's designs are unique pieces or made in small editions, but during his career he has also collaborated with Georg Jensen, Karakter and Swarovski, among others. Bakker's designs have been purchased by several museums in his native Netherlands and abroad: MoMA in New York, Center Pompidou in Paris, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
