Alphabet Wine & Water Glasses (Pair E) by Formafantasma

About This Piece

Exceptional Contemporary Design

Another stunning collection from the thoughtful and sophisticated design duo Formafantasma. Commissioned by Vienna’s MAK museum and crafted by Lobmeyr’s master artisans, the studio’s latest project will infuse your dining table with the refinement of the Biedermeier era.


Once the summerhouse of a wealthy Viennese banker—and now a part of the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK)—the Geymüllerschlössel is a spectacular example of haute bourgeoisie taste at the turn of the 19th century. MAK’s head curator Thomas Geisler invited Formafantasma to create a site-specific installation that engages the storied beauty of this landmark villa (built 1808) and explores the impact of the early Industrial Revolution on domestic interiors. The Alphabet collection, produced by 150-year-old Austrian glass company Lobmeyr, represents the next step in this fascinating project.


The individual Alphabet Water and Wine Glasses are each engraved with one of 12 patterns inspired by the villa’s Biedermeier interior and Lobmeyr’s rich archives. The glasses are intended to be presented upside down and one inside the other. Like a crystal cloche used to cover a small treasure, the bigger glass protects the smaller one and the two engraved patterns combine to form a new design. The thin lines of gold painted on the rim of each glass mark the perfect positioning. This collection highlights the pleasure of diversity within a set of objects while revisiting the rules of table setting.

About the Designer

Formafantasma

Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi, born in 1983, and Simone Farresin, born in 1980, work together under the name Formafantasma. The pair’s collaboration began while in they were studying for their B.A.s in communication design, and their passion for product design flourished as they pursued the IM Master's course at the Design Academy Eindhoven. The duo graduated in 2009 with a combined thesis focused on traditional Sicilian folk craft. They continued to live and work in Eindhoven until 2014, when they relocated to Amsterdam. 

Formafantasma’s designs consider a diverse set of issues, including the relationships between traditional, local, and global cultures; the relationship between man and nature; and the role of design in folk craft. In their shared love of and investigation into craftsmanship, Formafantasma has explored 18th- and 19th-century techniques and materials, and consistently experimented with unusual media, from bread and sea sponges to salmon skin and fur.
