It's not unusual for drinkware sets to be made in glass, but this unusual set by Formafantasma takes the idea of building upon the items in your kitchen to a whole new level.
'Mar gh'Era' is a glass set that consists of a glass mug and bottle, which playfully interact as part of an imaginary construction site of glass dinnerware. The glass crane is one of the most intricate parts of the set, all of which was created from a drawing by a glassblower.
These pieces were shown at 'Drawing Glass,' as part of Paris Design Week. The project shows how designers must visually communicate their ideas to transform them from 2D lines on paper into 3D objects. Mar gh'Era was created from 14 drawings and put together without measurements.
