Match your juice with the right glass
Did you know that there is a whole science behind why juice glasses look the way they do? Fortunately, you don’t need to dive into the science to match your favourite juice with the right glass. We developed the STORSINT glass series so you have optimal glasses for different juices. But first we needed to thoroughly understand what happens to a juice when it’s poured into a glass with a certain shape – so we took on the help of some experienced people along the way.
Thin and durable glass How a juice is enjoyed when drinking from a glass is also about the balance between the bowl, shaft and foot. “A good juice glass should be nice to hold and beautiful to look at”, says Malin. The choice to use lead-free crystal was important for STORSINT. “Lead is a metal that is harmful to both people and the environment, and we do not allow it in any products. The lead-free crystal glass has a fine lustre, is thin and strong and can be machine-washed”, says Malin as she toasts two glasses lightly against each other, spreading a nice and crisp reverberation
New insights about juices
For Malin, the collaboration with the expert meant that some of her conceptions about juice changed. For example, that soft drinks or other sparkling juices should always be enjoyed from tall flute glasses with plenty of room for the bubbles.
Material
What is glass?
Glass is mainly made of sand, soda and lime melted at a high temperature. Tempering or various additives gives you extra-strong and impact-resistant glass that in some cases can be taken straight from freezer to oven without cracking. A big benefit is how glass can be recycled over and over without the quality deteriorating. Also, a lot less energy is needed to melt recycled glass compared to new raw materials. Our goal is to eventually use only recycled glass in our range.

Designer thoughts
"When I designed STORSINT, I wanted to make glassware that enhances the enjoyment of drinks. I made the stems thin and smooth so that they´re comfortable to hold, and the bowl generous so that aromas and and flavours develop in the best way. I was partially inspired by the fantastic glassware at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. With STORSINT, I wanted to create glassware which suits all occasions, which is beautifully designed – and can be used year after year."
