PyriformYour dinner table becomes a riskier place for glasses the longer you drink. Glasses are likely to tip over, spilling wine on your table cloth and in a worst case scenario, even falling down and getting crushed on the floor.
Andreas Dahlberg wanted to avoid those mishaps during dinner. So, when making a set of wine glasses and a decanter, he was inspired by cliff-nesting birds who lay their eggs on narrow ledges. They often have highly conical eggs, which are less likely to roll off the ledge, tending instead to roll around in a tight circle.
The pyriform shape of the glass and decanter resulting in their orbital movement on the dinner table, also makes the wine breath easier, giving it a richer taste and enhanced flavour prior to drinking.
