Product details:
Alfredo Hberli grew up with a family that was in the restaurant business in Buenos Aires, so this Zurich-based designer under-stands the importance of getting the details of entertaining right from the very start. In 2001, Hberli created the Essence wine glass collection for Iittala which was continued 2013 with Essence Plus; each glass seems to perfectly serve its own particular function of accentuating the experience of drinking the type of wine it was designed for. The same can now be said for the new beer glass that sits in perfect harmony with its wine counterparts. With the rise in popularity of crafted and traditional beers and ales, it was time to launch a new Essence shape to accommodate this exciting new trend. The beer glass has the signature Essence stem that positions itself an elegant step above more standard beer glasses, while the vessel is designed to make pouring and drinking beer an enjoyable, sensuous experience.
