Alfredo Häberli Design Development

Twenty-five years after the launch of Essence, it is a pleasure to see this glass family continue to evolve with such lightness and clarity. The new pink stem introduces a subtle shift in character while preserving the balance that defined the original design from the beginning. Essence was conceived as a range of glasses reduced to the essential: simple, functional and elegant, with a calm presence on the table. The idea was always to create a family in which each glass feels individual, yet part of a coherent whole. The coloured stem now adds a new layer to this logic — a small but expressive gesture that brings warmth, joy and a certain festive spirit. What I like about this new version is that the colour does not overpower the object. It remains precise and controlled, while giving the glass a new emotional tone. In this way, Essence Pink celebrates both continuity and change: a familiar object, seen in a fresh light.
