Setting a memorable ambiance like an elegant lounge. Inspired by the classic cognac glass, the Snifter Flushmount from Mazzega passes the sniff test of a timeless design as a piece crafted in the legendary glass-making island of Murano, Italy. The piece exudes creator Christophe Pillet's design principles of simplicity and expressiveness. Pillet evokes the cognac or snifter glass's tulip silhouette with gentle curves. Muranese glass artists achieve the silhouette with an ancient Balloton technique that pushes blown glass into a solid cast. The glass is polished and fitted with a sleek metal mount to emphasize its contemporary personality. The tapered form and opaque quality of the glass help produce soft ambient light with a clean funneling quality.
