KARAKTER GLASS CARAFE
KARAKTER GLASS CARAFE
Designed by Aldo Bakker, 2021
Aldo Bakker's Glass Carafe is characterised by its wide base, which transitions into a very thin neck, creating a soft, organic shape.
The same shape is reflected in the glass, which also serves as a lid for the carafe itself.
DESIGNER
ALDO BAKKER
The work of Dutch artist and designer Aldo Bakker (born 1971) has a delicate and rare sense of harmony and the shapes communicate through colour, association, touch, texture, and materiality.
His designs are exquisitely balanced, often strange, yet strangely familiar. Timeless, sculptural and always intended to trigger a response.
Widely published and exhibited, Aldo Bakker continues selected collaborations with renown manufacturers while further completing his personal collection with master craftsmen and galleries around the world.

SET
- 4 glasses in extra-clear blown glass
- 1 carafe, 1 glass in extra-clear blown glass
DETAIL
The same shape is mirrored in the drinking glass, which doubles as a lid for the carafe itself. Whether the two are placed next to each other or with the glass upside down on top, the shape of the set has a fascinating and eye-catching appeal. Glasses are also sold separately in a set of four.
DOUBLE FUNCTION
The glass becomes a lid, naturally completing the design of the set.
CONTINUOUS FORM
The carafe and glass share a fluid, harmonious and consistent line.
PRODUCT CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- Care : For normal cleaning of glass surfaces, we recommend using clean water or a specially formulated glass cleaner. Then, polish the glass and dry it with a microfibre cloth to prevent spots and streaks.
- Prevention : Do not use abrasive cleaners, corrosive substances – acid or alkaline – because they could damage the surface. It is also advisable to avoid the use of sharp or hard utensils for cleaning because they could cause deep scratches or damage.
