The Design

About Etern Vinska karafa

Etern je steklena karafa, zasnovana za strežbo vina pri jedilni mizi. Oblika Eterna je navdihnjena s prerezom časa, ukrivljeni obris pa vsak trenutek predstavi kot svoj lastni delček večnosti. Steklo je uporabljeno zaradi svoje prosojnosti, ki razkrije barvo vina in lahkotni videz posode med dekantiranjem. Ko se vino vliva, zrak prehaja skozi tekočino in jo prezrači. Etern je oblikovan s postopkom pihanja stekla, pri čemer je bil razvit posebej prilagojen postopek, ki ustreza zasnovi. Kos je zamišljen kot umirjena izjava za mizo.
