Arnolfo di Cambio — Ettore Sottsass Crystal Glasses — Form as Manifesto

Some objects inhabit the table discreetly, while others transform it into a visual experience. The crystal glasses designed by Ettore Sottsass for Arnolfo di Cambio belong to the second category: holding them means having a fragment of design thinking between your fingers, where the transparency of crystal becomes an ongoing dialogue between light and geometry.

The Sottsass Design for Arnolfo di Cambio

Ettore Sottsass — an architect and designer among the most visionary figures of twentieth-century Italian design, founder of the Memphis movement and a leading figure in radical design — always conceived design as an act that touches the soul before it reaches the hand. In these glasses, that philosophy becomes material: proportions studied with almost architectural rigor, crystal walls as thin as sheets of ice, clean volumes that capture and reflect light differently at every hour of the day. A pair suitable for both water and liqueur, capable of elevating the simplest gesture — drinking — into a moment of aesthetic awareness.
