Decanter Essenza

Häberli designed Essence around radical economy of form, producing the smallest number of distinct glass shapes capable of serving the full range of fine wines. The result is a series where each piece works harder, and the shared stem-and-base geometry creates a coherent visual identity across the table.

Alfredo Häberli is an Argentine-born, Zurich-based industrial designer known for work that balances sensory warmth with formal precision. He has collaborated with Iittala, Camper, Georg Jensen, and others, and his practice consistently draws on the emotional dimension of everyday objects.
