Product description
This object is a hand-blown Bohemian crystal wine carafe (decanter) designed by the renowned Czech architect and designer Bořek Šípek.
It is a postmodern design that comes with a matching holder or cooler made of solid clear glass.
This object was designed for the Dutch chemical and biotechnology company DSM.
Bořek Šípek created this carafe around the year 2000 as part of an exclusive series of luxury corporate gifts.
The objects were produced in a limited edition by the Ajeto glass studio in Bohemia, Czech Republic.
Features of the object
* Designer: Bořek Šípek (1949–2016), a prominent designer known for his unique and unusual glass designs.
* Material: Hand-blown light green crystal glass for the carafe and clear pressed glass for the base.
* Functionality: The heavy glass base can be chilled to keep drinks in the carafe cold.
* Details: The carafe has a spherical body and a long, slender neck with a twisted effect.
Design Background
* Purpose: The carafe and accompanying glass cooler were given by DSM to business associates and were sometimes associated with the presentation of the annual report.
* Symbolism: The design reflects the innovative and modern image the company wanted to convey by collaborating with a world-renowned designer like Šípek.
