Additional Features

• The Vie Stemware Collection brings a contemporary flare-up to classic wine glasses with their oversized body and flat foot. The Vie Pinot Noir Glass provides the generous space essential to capturing the aromatic nuances of this medium-bodied wine, and the tapering towards the rim allows the taste to concentrate at the front of the palate. When filled, the wine dips slightly into the glass stem.
• Designer: Neil Cohen, humor, playfulness, and serendipity may on first impression seem incompatible with the serious business of designing products for Nambé. Meet Neil Cohen, who creates some of Nambé's most popular and wondrously beautiful designs in metal, crystal, and lighting, and has a ton of fun in the process. Cohen's forward-reaching vision and refined sense of shape, material, and workmanship characterize his concepts. His work supplies the kind of spark that engages the human spirit. We have said that Nambé designs are "works of art you can use every day." With their combination of humor and discovery, Cohen's strong, concise designs are just that: meaningful experiences in themselves, apart from their functionality. Holder of two degrees from the Rhode Island School of Design, Cohen has lectured at his alma mater, as well as at Pratt and Parsons School of Design. His work has been recognized for its innovation by the Steelcase/Interiors Design Partnership, featured in The New York Times and New York Magazine, and chosen for the AIGA's Objects of Design Award. The Japan Arts Council has exhibited his designs. The prestigious 30 Under 30 exhibition in New York has showcased his work among 30 young designers who are shaping the future.
