What are the true luxury goods of today? For us, it’s not glitter, gold, or heavy cut crystal vases. People of today need carefully designed and well-crafted objects. Pure drinking water is a treasure and this drinking set – STILL – reminds us to cherish and enjoy our world’s most important resource. For this project, Lobmeyr asked for a precious object to be created using a copper wheel engraving. Formafantasma didn’t come back with a single piece, but instead with a series that tells an evocative story. Each piece of crystal is engraved with two different patterns inspired by the production process itself. One is a contemporary microscopic view of river bacteria; the other a 19th-century illustration of an oceanic organism with a skeleton of silica, the main element of glass. A copper ladle can be used to scoop the water from the larger vessel into a filter that can be set atop the medium-sized vessel. The filter can then be stored upon the large vessel while the ladle is used to scoop the purified water into the crystal or copper tumblers. A jug can be used for when smaller quantities are needed.
