5 in Uno Set of Glasses

5 in Uno Set of Glasses


Joe Colombo’s 5 in Uno Set of Glasses (1970) lets you set your table for a five-course meal, with each guest having their own set of five hand-blown glasses. Nested together, either for presentation or for storage, these glasses create the shape of a stylized flower. As each drink is poured, a different glass is used. Glasses are intended for: spirit, port/prosecco/dessert wine, wine, water and cognac/brandy. Colombo, an innovator in plastics design in the 1960s and ’70s, was the recipient of many awards, including the Compasso d’Oro in 1967 and 1970. Dishwasher safe. Made in Italy.
