INTERIORS ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE ARE YOU BEING SERVED? CREATE A NEW AMBIENCE IN YOUR HOME BY UPDATING YOUR GLASSWARE TO FEEL AS PREMIUM AS IT LOOKS. From champagne flutes to tumblers, copa de balons to wine glasses, the glassware range at Morleys Bexleyheath has been curated to include a variety of styles, including contemporary, classic elegance and unusual textures, to add a different dimension to a bar or table. Here, we look to the origins of two glassware purveyors, who continue to create and innovate, whilst remaining true to their traditional techniques. Dartington Born in North Devon in 1967, Dartington Glass, as it is now known, was recognised for crafting simple yet functional glassware. Using traditional Scandinavian techniques, their ethos was clean and simple design style. Fast forward 50 years and the same vision stands - with Dartington’s dedicated team of designers and accomplished glass makers, some who have been honing their craft for over 40 years, led by principal designer Hilary Green, all remaining true to this sentiment. As a nation that craves experiences and enjoys sharing memories, especially as Christmas approaches, there is something quite nostalgic about sitting with those close to us, sipping on our favourite beverage. Whisky connoisseurs will revel in consuming the tipple with the Whisky Experience Tasting set (£40). Designed specifically for the enjoyment of whisky, the wide bowl and narrow rim elevate the aroma and flavour discovery, making for an ideal gift or a great addition to your own glassware line-up. DARTINGTON WHISKY EXPERIENCE Whisky not your drink of choice? Then look to Dartington’s Just The One Gin & Tonic Copa and Brandy Glasses (£10 each). For a G&T that looks and tastes the part, the Copa glass takes inspiration from the style of glass used in Spanish gin bars with high-quality to boot. For traditional brandy enthusiasts, the wide bowl, short stem design allows the glass to sit perfectly in the palm of your hand as you relax on a cold winter’s evening. LSA INTERNATIONAL - DUSK COLLECTION LSA International For over half a century, LSA International has created contemporary bar, table and interior decoration collections, evolving co-founder Janusz Lubkowski’s flair and vision for crafting pieces made from glass, porcelain, leather, wood and enamelled steel. Today, Monika Lubkowska-Jonas continues her father’s passion for creativity and innovation using complex artisan techniques - the signature of the brand - whilst ensuring the highest quality finish. Bring Monika’s aesthetic into your home with LSA’s Dusk. This beautiful and unique collection of drinkware and decorative pieces boasts a delicate mix of colours, that glisten in the daylight, then fade as the sun sets at dusk. Giving true light and shade to complement your table top, sheer lustres in grey, green and pink hues are applied to tumblers and flutes by hand, with each iridescent finish enhanced by the pleated glass texture. If you want to inject subtle colour in to your dining table or bar as you entertain this season, the Dusk collection is the perfect way to serve wine, spirits and cocktails in style - guaranteed to be the talking point as day turns to evening. Whether you are hosting Christmas lunch and want to bring the table to life with delicate, luxury glassware, or looking for a gift which is unique, high-quality and crafted using meticulous classic techniques, visit Morleys Bexleyheath in the Broadway Shopping Centre to explore the full range.
