City Highball (set of 2) by Martti Rytkönen
200.00 $
City Highball from Orrefors, available as a set of 4, holds 12 oz and is ideal for serving long drinks, with or without alcohol. The cuts that criss-cross the surface of the glass create an asymmetric look, which contributes to the distinct identity of the collection. Designed by Martti Rytkonen.
Martti Rytkönen grew up in North Karelia, Finland. He studied at the University of Arts, Crafts & Design (Konstfack) in Stockholm with a focus on glass and ceramics.
Rytkönen came to Orrefors as an Orrefors scholarship recipient in 1994, and then continued working for the brand. He is particularly known for his graphic effects and the designs he creates by cutting, blasting and engraving.
His glass collections always reflect the true spirit of Orrefors – even when he experiments with shape and glassmaking techniques. He is fascinated by the possibilities of glass and likes to form the clear crystal into objects with a narrative.
In his various designs, Martti shows us how the material can be soft and light; but at the same time, heavy, strong and hard.
