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.
Design by Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen

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.

Stephanie Forsythe
Canada
Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen cofounded molo in 2003 and are best known for sharing their ideas and products for flexible, sustainable spacemaking around the world. Over the past three decades, the partners have worked together and led the Vancouver-based studio from humble beginnings to international recognition and acclaim. Along the way, they have assembled a dedicated team and a family of specialized manufacturers that support them in this endeavour. The partners work together to design all of molo’s products and projects, which range in size from a tea set to a museum. Forsythe and MacAllen met in 1994 while studying Architecture at Dalhousie University. Between 1994 and 2003, they worked together on several award-winning architectural projects and competition proposals. These projects included foundational investigations into materials, flexibility, and sustainable space making. The partners built molo around these early explorations and ideas, and they continue to drive the spirit behind the studio. Together, they designed and developed the iconic soft collection, a sculptural line of innovative, flexible space partitions, furniture, and lighting elements made from paper and textile. The award-winning soft collection is well known for its poetic beauty and pragmatic design. It experiences steady, iterative development as Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen continue their experiential and technical investigations, or as a sensitivity to nature and how the products interact with light and shadow inspires new finishes or colours. Stephanie Forsythe, Todd MacAllen, and molo hold over thirty-five patents and thirty design registrations. They have received numerous international design and architecture awards, including the prestigious Danish INDEX Award for Design to Improve Life for softwall, the Architectural Review AR + D Award for Colorado House, 2010 Emerging Voices Award from The Architectural League of New York and Grand Prize in the Aomori Northern Housing Competition. Their products have been acquired by many museum and gallery collections, including the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Chicago Art Institute, Die Neue Sammlung, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.
