Uplifting Carafes05. Jan2013
'Uplifting Carafes' are a family of glass carafes for oil, vinegar, water and wine. The pieces are produced by Secondome, and were launched at Milan Furniture Fair as part of the 2012 Secondome/Fabrica glass collection.
"The ritual of drinking together is synonymous with lifting the spirits. The contents of the carafes - Chianti, Prosecco, balsamic vinegar and olive oil - are at the centre of the concept elevated in height and status, whilst the transparency of the glass fades into the setting. The impression is of a levitating liquid, raised above the surface of the table, celebrated and for celebrating." - Mr.Brown
