For the Italian designer, a water carafe had to include a few essentials: a round and comfortable shape, simple aesthetic, and a handle in order to offer a nice and fresh glass of water to guests and friends.
Playing with the ideas of purity and simple shapes, Antonio has creates an emotional yet solid object: organic, minimal but strong and full of character. Like a giant ice cube, the body of the carafe itself is iconic and straightforward.
This oversized glass cube with a hole on the top can house both water and ice, and protects the contents from dust.
Complementing the jug are six little companions in the form of cubic glasses.
The carafe has been hand blown by Antonio’s good friend, and accomplished artisan Massimo Lunardon.
