Bing Flute Glass - Multicolour

The Bing flute glass features a rare horizontal symmetry, with the conical drinking vessel inverted to form both the stem and base in a single continuous form. Designed by Czech designer Bořek Šípek for the Italian design house Driade, the piece is covered in rings of golden orange glass across its dual-textured surface. Influences from Bohemian Baroque craft are evident in the ornate detailing, making it a distinctive collectible that can be mixed and matched with other multicolour pieces from the same series.

Part of a series of glass objects created for Driade by the late Czech 'poet of design' Bořek Šípek, the sensual form of these exquisite flutes is defined by a rare horizontal symmetry. The conical flute of the drinking glass is inverted to form the stem and base. The piece is covered all over in rings of golden orange glass. 'Bing', with its dual-textured surface and influences from the bohemian baroque, is a captivating addition to tables, and an essential item for collectors.
