The Essence series, with its simple yet flared shape towards the bottom, was born in 2001 based on the belief that a simple form is best for enjoying wine and the idea of creating glasses that can accommodate all types of wine with a limited number of designs. Today, the lineup has expanded to include beer glasses and tumblers. Designer Alfredo Häberli had extensive knowledge of food and drink, as his family ran a restaurant and hotel business. Utilizing this knowledge, the shapes are designed with a focus on the functionality of the glass for delicious drinking, and the lead-free glass is finished with a thin and comfortable lip, which is unusual. Furthermore, the design, which pursues a balance between traditional and modern, daily use and formal occasions, matches any scene. It is also highly regarded internationally, having received the iF Design Award and the Les Découvertes Award from Maison & Objet.
