float | barware

A good cocktail transplants the drinker through time and space, bringing them back to a Paris bar, a twilight rendezvous, or the celebration where they first experienced that delicate sensory mix. The float barware collection elevates these moments, intensifying the taste, colour, and experience of a beverage.

The unique suspended bowl performs the practical function of insulating one’s hand from the drink and casts a colourful pattern of refracted light onto the bar or table. When used for a chilled drink, small beads of condensation accumulate on the underbelly of the bowl, adding delicacy to the optical effect rather than making rings on the tabletop.

Each piece of float glassware is handcrafted by master glassblowers in the Czech Republic from the finest German borosilicate glass. This extremely pure and chemically inert material is resistant to thermal shock, allowing all float glassware to be used safely with both hot and cold liquids.

product details:

liqueur glasses

These small glasses are perfect for liqueurs, espresso and hot or cold sake.

champagne flutes

A contemporary champagne glass, the clean lines add fresh expression to a wonderful tradition. The flutes are also well suited for tall liqueurs, ice wines or a single, delicate flower.

martini glasses

float martini glasses harmonize with the aesthetics of the float collection, while preserving the classic shape of a traditional martini glass. The bowl and base are deftly attached as a single piece. Use for martinis, or as a serving dish for berries and desserts.

fritted martini glasses

Like the tea lantern or float bubble, float martini glasses are available in a translucent fritted glass that softly filters light and colour.

rock glasses

This small cup is the perfect size for tea, white wine, or a favourite spirit on the rocks. The suspended bowl is well complemented by an ice sphere.

pilsner flutes

A tribute to the Czech glassblowers; the flute is inspired by the nation’s crisp, clean pilsners.

wine glasses

The wine within becomes a liquid lens, refracting coloured light onto the tabletop. This is the most versatile size in the collection, with ample volume for a cappuccino, dessert or to let a Merlot breathe.

cocktail pitcher

This pitcher is made with a double glass wall, which encloses a vacuum to provide thermal insulation for hot or cold beverages, from mulled wine to stirred martinis. The insulated wall allows for the clean form of a cylinder without a handle — simply hold and pour the way you would a wine bottle.
