Daktyl Drinking Glass: A Contemporary Murano Glass Tumbler Inspired by Texture
What if a drinking glass could feel as interesting as it looks?
The Daktyl Drinking Glass explores this idea through an unusual combination of material, texture and colour.
Handcrafted in Murano, its distinctive surface recalls the grain of natural wood, giving an everyday tumbler a recognizable design identity that goes beyond conventional decorative glassware.
A Different Approach to Murano Glassmaking
Daktyl is defined by the way its surface is created.
Rather than shaping the molten glass exclusively through rotation, the glassmakers use transverse lines to develop a directional texture.
This creates a pattern reminiscent of natural wood grain, with subtle variations that give each tumbler its own character.
During production, selected glass rods also react to heat and oxidation, leaving delicate traces within the material.
These details become part of the finished design, making every Daktyl glass subtly different.
Nine Colour Combinations
Daktyl offers a varied palette, from restrained neutral tones to more expressive contrasts.
Choose Clear with Red Decoration for a bright accent, Grey with Aquamarine or White Decoration for a more understated appearance, or Fumè with White Decoration for a smoky contrast.
Other combinations include Amethyst with Red, Blue with Aquamarine, Blue with White, Topaz with White and Cass Green with White Decoration.
Each variation highlights the directional texture differently, allowing you to build a coordinated collection or mix contrasting colours.
Made for Drinks Worth Enjoying
Measuring 8.5 cm high and 8.5 cm in diameter, Daktyl has the proportions of a compact, versatile tumbler.
Its broad, low silhouette makes it a natural choice for serving water, cocktails and other everyday drinks.
The textured appearance also gives the glass a distinctive presence on the table, particularly when paired with simple plates, natural materials and contemporary tableware.
Make the Collection Your Own
Daktyl is designed as a family of objects sharing the same material language.
Combine different tumbler colours for a more playful arrangement, or pair your glasses with the Daktyl Pitcher and Centerpiece to create a coordinated setting.
Whether you're preparing a casual lunch or inviting friends for drinks, the collection brings a distinctive detail to the occasion.
Choose your favourite Daktyl colour and make the glass you reach for every day a little more interesting. Its unusual texture and handmade character turn even a simple drink into an opportunity to enjoy contemporary Murano design.
