STAND UP, the new crystal glass collection from SIEGER and Ichendorf, gets things moving on the dinner table. Inspired by the imperturbable balance of roly-poly toys, the three mouth-blown wine and digestif glasses and a carafe pair elegant lightness with unexpected dynamism. Whether empty or full, they rock gently back and forth each time they’re touched only to regain their balance and stand up straight once again. It’s made possible by the precisely curved base, whose contact area with the table measures less than a square millimetre.

Light and playful, the collection is a sure-fire conversation starter at the dinner table – especially when the glasses suddenly start dancing as the drinks are poured. At the same time, the collection is designed to be highly versatile and suitable for everyday use. Because they don’t have the traditional stem, the tumblers can be used not just for digestifs and wine, but also for water, orange juice, gin and tonic, tea or coffee.

It took a lot of experiments, sketches and 3D prototypes to attain a perfect balance that allows finely nuanced movements without any spillages. Designer Michael Sieger attached particular importance to the lightness of the glass and the precision of the curved base. The tiny point on which each STAND UP glass rests on the table is decorated with a finely engraved star – the symbol of the SIEGER brand and an elegant testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Milanese brand Ichendorf.

The STAND UP collection is intended both for private homes and modern hotels, restaurants and bars. And even on yachts, the glasses work perfectly with their rocking motion. Guaranteeing fun, lively moments anywhere and everywhere.

The tumblers are available either in transparent glass or in the subtly greyish Smoke variant. The collection is rounded off by an elegantly designed carafe.
