Product detailed description
The Dunes tall glass set, crafted from crystal glass, is inspired by the wild beauty of sand dunes and their naturally recurring forms. The dune-like relief appears on the inside of the glass, while the exterior maintains a clean, simple and precise silhouette.
When filled with liquid, the internal dune pattern visually disappears, leaving only the elegant outer shape visible. This subtle transformation adds a poetic layer to everyday use and highlights the relationship between material, form and perception.
Created by Monotropa studio in collaboration with glass designer Tomáš Kučera, the DUNES collection reflects a balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, positioned at the intersection of function and artistic expression.
