Wine Glass
When Objects Work
The Wine Glass by John Pawson is a refined take on an everyday wine glass, crafted in pure Bohemian crystal. The design was inspired by Pawson's task of providing the refectory of the Abbey of Nový Dvůr in Bohemia with a set of implements and vessels appropriate to the functional and aesthetic needs of the monastic community.
The designs reflect a commitment to the discipline of paring away until what is left cannot be improved by further subtraction — ‘I seek the comfort of exactness, an absolute precision of scale and proportion’.
Sold as a single glass.
John pawson
For over 30 years, John Pawson CBE’s work – rigorous in its simplicity and modesty – has addressed the fundamentals of architecture. It spans a wide range of scales and typologies, from private residences, museums, and hotels, to ballet sets and sacred spaces.
Like Alvar Aalto’s bronze door handle – “the handshake of a building” – Pawson’s work engages with a philosophy of space through sight and touch. He applies the exact same approach to both buildings and design commissions: “it’s all architecture”.
Regardless of scale, all of his projects share a consistent focus on mass, volume, surface, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition, light and ritual. In this way, even a modest fork becomes a vehicle for much broader ideas about how we live and what we value.
