Whiskey Glasses by Normann Copenhagen

Karen

Designed by Rikke Hagen .  Once again Rikke has designed an exclusive glass for Normann Copenhagen – one that combines elegance, pleasure and function in a simple, Nordic design.

Whiskey conveys an elegant expression, and the entire experience revolves around how you hold the glass in your.  Aroma, temperature and volume all come together and the wide opening completes the indulgence.

Rikke explains ” Just like the Cognac glass I have designed, my inspiration for the Whiskey glass stems from my passion fore collecting stones on the beach.  The act of playing with stones in one’s hand is an serene, meditative movement can be summed up in a functional and aesthetic design.  The curve at the bottom provides a natuaral grasp for the glass, and the little bubble elegantly elevates the ice cubes like little ice blocks”

Funky Lights by Angelpoise

Karen

Designed by Kenneth Grange an industrial designer born in London in 1929.

Kenneth Grange views product design as an opportunity for innovation rather than merely as a means to aesthetic improvement, which is why he sees it as such an important part of the manufacturing process.

The Type1228 wall light is one of these innovations. The two tone shade is coloured on the outside and white on the inside giving a good working light and a pleasant ambience around the room.

The Type1228 was also the first product by Angelpoise where the shade can be rotated vertically.
