Culbuto

The spherical shape which stands on an almost invisible base

Products of the collection
Culbuto

Minimalist, yet so enchanting and technically masterful. The shapes of the Culbuto drinkware collection tell the story of the time of its creation. In the 1930s, the peak era of functionalism, the appetite for the simplest possible shapes gave birth to this timeless collection, which looks thoroughly modern even after 80 years. The minimalist design of the round glasses and the carafe, however, place great demands on craftsmanship, so the Moser glassworkers put all their experience and skills into blowing the exact shape created by the ingenious designer Rudolf Eschler in 1935.

    An ancient principle in modern design

    For the Culbuto set of glasses and carafe, the great Moser designer Rudolf Eschler found inspiration in a classic toy: a figure with a low centre of gravity that always returns to the vertical. While this old principle traces its roots all the way back to the Tang dynasty in ancient China (7th to 10th century), the resulting aesthetic is thoroughly modern. And nothing about that has changed from 1935, when the collection was designed, until the present day.

    The spherical shape of the thin-walled glasses, which stands on an almost invisible base, works perfectly in either clear lead-free crystal or the iconic Moser colours. The basic clear set lets the colour of a drink really pop, while the sophisticated hues of the coloured glass bring a playful element into your home.

    Rudolf Eschler

    In the 1930s, Rudolf Eschler was one of the most successful Moser designers. His designs managed to succeed at the world expositions in Chicago and Bruxelles and in the present day, they continue to gain popularity among designer glass enthusiasts. In the current Moser lineup, you can also find his Bar collection, while the perfume and liqueur sets of strictly square shape are highly sought after by collectors and at auctions.
