Made by Karakter

Designed by Joe Colombo

Joe Colombo credeva nel design democratico e funzionale. Nel corso della sua vita ha disegnato una vasta gamma di bicchieri diversi. Un aspetto che sembra molto calzante, dato che si diceva amasse bere e fumare.

Sfortunatamente, questo ha senza dubbio contribuito alla sua prematura scomparsa, ma ci piace pensare che sarebbe contento di vedere che le sue creazioni continuano a vivere. Nel 1968 ha disegnato una serie di sei bicchieri, tutti basati su figure geometriche.

Fedele alla sua visione democratica e funzionale del design, tutti i bicchieri erano destinati a un'ampia gamma di usi diversi, come acqua, long drink, whisky, vino, birra, succo, champagne, gelato e così via.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Sferico glassware and when?

Joe Colombo designed the Sferico series in 1968. Each glass in the collection is based on a distinct geometrical figure, reflecting his commitment to functional, democratic design objects.

How many glasses are in the Sferico series?

The Sferico series comprises six glasses, each with a different geometric silhouette. Colombo intended them for versatile use rather than assigning each a single prescribed beverage.

What is Karakter's role in the Sferico collection?

Karakter is a Copenhagen-based design gallery that specializes in reissuing overlooked or discontinued works by significant modern designers. They brought the Sferico series back into production in close fidelity to Colombo's original 1968 designs.

Is Sferico glassware appropriate for both everyday and formal use?

Yes. Colombo explicitly designed the Sferico series to serve multiple functions, from water and juice to wine and champagne. The geometric forms read equally well in casual and formal table settings.

Why is Joe Colombo considered significant in design history?

Colombo packed an extraordinary body of work into a career cut short at thirty-six. His furniture, lighting, and objects were characterized by geometric precision, forward-thinking ergonomics, and a conviction that design should be accessible rather than exclusive. His pieces are held in the permanent collections of major design museums worldwide.
