Glass mix, set of four

In addition to its most obvious use, laboratory apparatus has a second, equally appealing function: design inspiration. Here, glass beakers are reinterpreted by Dutch designer David Derksen, who has taken cues from their every detail in this set of four glasses by Tre Products. Horizontal measuring lines are reimagined as a mesmeric, patterned arrangement around the entire circumference of each object, while the employment of high quality borosilicate glass further highlights the lab as a source of inspiration while giving the set an increased dimension of strength.
