Carafe

This droplet shaped carafe was designed by Tord Boontje. Handmade and mouth-blown by senior craftsmen in the UK, this carafe can be used for water as well as wine. Made from borosilicate glass, it is dishwasher safe and we hope this beautiful object will give you years of drinking pleasure.

Dutch designer Tord Boontje seeks to create a delicate marriage of design with emotion, which is as broadly accessible as it is enticing. His work draws from a belief that modernism does not mean minimalism, that contemporary does not forsake tradition, and that technology does not abandon people and senses. Taking inspiration from nature,  Boontje’s designs often temper edges with softness, and employ a décor of forms and layers to engage and entice an observer’s imagination and emotions.

He is currently Professor and Head of Design Products at the Royal College of Art.
