Flow
Matthew Fiddimore
Inspired by fine fragrance bottles where the quality of the glassware communicates the quality of the liquid within, Flow is a stylish and contemporary carafe that addresses the practical and commercial requirements of restaurant service.
Elegantly tall with a small footprint, Flow requires little shelf space and will find room on even the tiniest tables for two.
Referencing the meandering Thames, the beautiful deep plunging spout facilitates pouring while holding back ice. Pure in form, it complements existing restaurant glassware and its substantial base exudes quality and robustness.
Flow’s internal form invites you to observe the clarity of the water and the boldly etched graphics proudly declare its tap water quality. Its flat top happily sits in any dishwasher basket and flow can even be rinsed by bar-mounted glass rinsers.
Made from recycled glass in crystal clear or green, Flow’s purity of form echoes the purity of the water it holds.
