Description

Alessi's Eugenia water tumbler is part of a glassware collection designed by Naoto Fukasawa, created to complement both everyday and special occasions. Equally suitable for water, soft drinks or cocktails, the tumbler has a slightly downward flaring shape that, together with the softly contoured base, creates a beautifully curved silhouette. Eugenia water tumblers are sold in sets of four.

The name of the Eugenia glass collection pays homage to Alberto Alessi's winery "La signora Eugenia e il passero solitario," translating to "Mrs. Eugenia and the Lonely Sparrow", and the shape of the winery's bottles served as a starting point for Naoto Fukasawa's design. Made from clear, lead-free crystalline glass, the Eugenia glassware features a clean, minimalist design, making it extremely versatile in any setting. The unifying feature of the glasses is their subtly obtuse angle, which gives each piece in the collection a slightly different yet recognizable shape.
