The Viva series was designed and inspired by historical fine glass and classic utility glass from Småland, Sweden. “I wanted to make a series that invites informal, spontaneous use of encourages socializing. Glassware with broad functionality that isn’t governed by traditional rules. A favorite for serving any drink at any moment, and for sharing with friends and family”. Viva is intended for everyday use or simple occasions.
I've always thought this was a cool design, but IRL it's only the looks that get stars. Functionally the main problem is draining the glass because otherwise you can't replace it on the top without making a mess. Fails as bedside water because it's awkward to hold or pour from in the middle of the night.. Smm. New York. Fri Jul 01 2022
