From fashion designer to fabulous helmets, Karl Lagerfeld has basically done it all, up until his latest venture with the Swedish company that will soon release the Orrefors by Karl Lagerfeld collection. From crystal water and liqueur glasses to bowls and vases, Lagerfeld’s vision with contemporary housewares is everything glamorous.
Set to launch in September of 2011, the collection is already running wild with pre-orders due to its design and simplicity. Monogramed coasters will add more flair to the already fabulous stemware which you can totally show off at your dinner parties with the neighbors.
A short film was released to showcase its eminent construction and detailed craftsmanship that will make the Orrefors by Karl Lagerfeld line a truly desirable one. The series will come in an array of finishes from milk to black, clear crystal and some engraved with the designer’s initials.
