A new and frankly exquisite trio of glasses lands today on the shelves of the MoMA Design Store. The collection is called ‘Small Matter: Form Glassware 001’ and we’re calling it early to say they will be in hot demand. Topaz coupes top three different onyx bottoms each with a distinct personality: from an elegant deco stem wine glass, to a chunky ribbed trunk goblet, to a squat, graphic counterweight of a base for the cordial glass. The glasses are borosilicate (lightweight and strong), blown into graphite moulds. They feel ceremonial and glamorous, ancient and sexy simultaneously. For their striking beauty, and the fact that they are technically handmade, remarkably they are relatively affordable: the wine glass and cordial are $41 each; the goblet is $45.
