Hans Harald Rath designed the “Alpha†set in 1952. Thanks to their compact, balanced features the glasses lie beautifully in the hand.
The shape was inspired by a Baroque copper cup from the collections of the MAK Vienna, itself influenced by Islamic works. Reflecting the lifestyle of the 50ies, the glasses are fully stackable. Finest muslin glass, mouth-blown into wooden forms, provides for their elegance. In 1964 the series was awarded the German National Design Price “Gute Formâ€. Today some of the shapes are available in six light colours, garnet red and black.
