A successful table decoration includes several criteria: beautiful dinnerware, matching cutlery, a tablecloth or placemats in a beautiful material, as well as glasses to accompany your various drinks. A poor choice of glasses... and your entire table decoration could fall flat. Having suitable glasses is an absolute necessity for a chic and elegant table.
If this type of glass has a stem, it is primarily to offer a better tasting experience. Besides its design aspect, the stem provides a perfect grip on the glass. It also prevents any warming of the wine, as can happen with a traditional tumbler. Furthermore, by holding the glass by its stem, you avoid leaving fingerprints and better appreciate the colour and appearance of your drink. Stemmed glasses also bring brilliance to your table. With porcelain dinnerware, your table will sparkle brilliantly.
For a festive and sophisticated table, it is better to favour a set of matching glasses like Sandrine. Also know that each region may have its specific dinnerware and glass. For example, Burgundy wines use tulip-shaped glasses like Bremen. The elongated shape of the flute preserves the effervescence of champagne, while the coupe offers better diffusion of bubbles for a less sparkling champagne.
Habitat stemmed glasses are more than simple containers; they are pieces crafted by glassmakers with ancestral expertise. These glasses come in a variety of styles and designs to suit all tastes and harmonise with your dinnerware. Some of our models come from glassmakers who blow the glass. Our models sparkle with their faceted aspect or wavy surface. Other models are mass-tinted and offer an inspiring palette of colours to harmonise with your theme or table decoration.
Habitat also offers pieces from an exceptional French manufacturer, located in the Vosges. Since 1475, La Rochère has been training master glassmakers and received the "Living Heritage Company" label in 2014.
