- Production Technology
- Archie is produced from soda lime glass using press machines, a process that ensures consistency, precision, and repeatability in mass production. The controlled forming achieves optimized wall thickness and balance, delivering durability and resistance to scratching, even under intensive professional use. Each piece is engineered to perform reliably across different beverage types, while its structure supports efficient handling and seamless integration into dynamic service routines. The result is a collection that combines industrial strength with refined clarity, elevating functionality into an elegant experience.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge in developing the Archie collection was adapting the structural form of the arch into functional glassware suitable for professional use. The team needed to maintain the visual impact of the motif while ensuring comfort, balance, and production efficiency. Another key difficulty was modernizing the Art Deco inspiration so that the collection could harmonize with diverse contemporary interiors and service environments. Finding the right proportions and achieving clean geometry through press glass technology required several design trials and technical adjustments. Internally, the project referenced the historical link between architecture and decoration, while externally it had to meet hospitality standards, sustainability goals, and cost limitations. Close collaboration between design and engineering made it possible to achieve a form that is both distinctive and feasible for mass production.
- Research
- The project aimed to reinterpret a timeless architectural motif into contemporary glassware that merges durability with refined aesthetics. Through research on the structural rhythm and balance of classical arches, the design evolved to express strength and elegance in equal measure. Inspired by the harmony of Art Deco geometry, various proportions and curvatures were explored to achieve the most visually balanced and ergonomic form. The resulting collection, Archie, embodies both decorative sophistication and practical performance, transforming the enduring beauty of architecture into a tactile experience for modern hospitality.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the timeless form of the arch, Archie translates architectural rhythm into glass. Its bold geometry and refined symmetry echo the spirit of Art Deco, where structure becomes ornament and function meets elegance.
- Project Duration
- The project started in February 2024 and completed in October 2024 , and was exhibited in Ambiente in February 2025.
- Operation Flow
- The design takes its visual strength from the arch motif, a classical element known for rhythm, balance, and elegance. This repeating geometry creates a sculptural identity that captures attention and leaves a lasting impression. Its bold yet refined aesthetics, inspired by the spirit of Art Deco, convey a sense of timeless sophistication, creating a clear must have appeal. Thoughtful proportions ensure the form is not only visually striking but also comfortable and intuitive to hold.
