The Design

About Etern Dekanter

Etern je stakleni dekanter dizajniran za posluživanje vina za stolom za ručavanje. Oblik Eterna inspirisan je poprečnim presjekom vremena, a zakrivljeni obris prikazuje svaki trenutak kao vlastiti fragment vječnosti. Staklo se koristi zbog svoje prozirnosti, koja prikazuje boju vina i lahkoću izgleda posude tokom dekantiranja. Dok se vino sipa, zrak prolazi kroz tečnost i aerira je. Etern je oblikovan puhanjem stakla, a razvijen je poseban proces kako bi odgovarao dizajnu. Ovaj komad zamišljen je kao smiren iskaz za sto.
