Lest you thought Reidel's stemless "O" wine tumblers were the last innovation in wine glassware, a British friend visiting San Francisco recently for a tech conference spotted this "inside out" glassware at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. It's the work of a young Dutch designer (but apparently Brooklyn-based), Alissia Melka-Teichroew, also known by her initials AMT.
The description on her site about the Inside Out Collection states:
"The shape of a drinking glass reflects its content: columnar flute for champagne, curvy goblet for wine, short shot glass for straight liquor, stout highball for cocktails. But what if only the negative space of glasses assumes these iconic shapes? That’s the premise of AMT’s line of Pyrex glass barware. All glasses have the same outer shape, but pour in a drink and the glass’s inner identity appears."
P.S. A pair of Champagne glasses goes for $60 at Charles & Marie.
