What’s new: Hem’s Fars glas glass

Planning a garden party for hot summer days? Don't forget to add this drinking glass to your table setting! The Fars glas by Hem is both elegant and versatile, making it ideal for serving wine and water alike.

Hem's sturdy Fars glas fascinates with its unique design.

THE FARS GLAS drinking glass by Hem captivates with its robust design. The name of the glass is Swedish and means "father's glass" – a fitting tribute to the designer Erik Höglund, a glass artist and sculptor, who was undoubtedly a pioneer of glass art!

Swedish glass artist Erik Höglund originally designed the beautiful glass for Kosta Boda in 1969.
The iconic drinking glass has been delighting drinkers since the late 1960s.

The Swedish designer originally created the Fars glas for the glass manufacturer Kosta Boda in 1969. At the time, the drinking glass was a sensation with its straightforward and distinctive form, particularly emphasizing the sturdy stem.

The stemmed glass also ensures a secure grip – a feature that will likely appeal to guests at late-night dinner parties! Therefore, we highly recommend the Fars glas especially as a wine glass, though it’s equally delightful for drinking mocktails, juice, or even milk.

The timeless look of the classic glass suits both festive and more casual table settings.

The Fars glass drinking glass is mouth-blown from clear, lead-free glass. Each set includes two drinking glasses, making it perfect for toasting with your best friend!
