PLIE

A playful stemmed glass defined by its signature circular loop stem.

Inspired by the graceful posture of a ballerina in plié, its silhouette brings a light, expressive character to the table. Designed with a casual, pop sensibility, PLIE adds a touch of color and personality to everyday moments.

The loop stem is available in three soft hues — Amber, Blue, and Violet — offering a gentle, pastel accent against the clarity of the glass.

Perfect for wine, juice, or desserts, its transparent form beautifully showcases layers — from fresh fruit to cream — making every presentation visually engaging. Despite its delicate appearance, PLIE is designed for versatility and ease, inviting you to use it freely across different occasions.

A rare feature for a stemmed glass, PLIE is stackable. Each detail — from the cup shape to the base — is carefully engineered so that stacked glasses do not touch at the rim, ensuring both stability and protection.

Lighthearted yet thoughtfully crafted, PLIE brings a sense of joy and movement to the table.
