Elevate Your Happy Hour: Simon Pearce Martini Glasses

As the seasons transition and the weather cools down, there's no better way to celebrate than with a refreshing cocktail in handcrafted martini glasses from Simon Pearce. Our Ascutney Whiskey or Double Old-Fashioned glass is the perfect complement to our Harvest Moon drink, a classic cocktail served at our Vermont restaurant.

At Simon Pearce, we take pride in our unique processes and craftsmanship. We've had the pleasure of working with students from Pratt Institute to explore the intersection of product design and handmade craftsmanship. In this article, we'll delve into the story behind our collaboration and how it led to the creation of stunning martini glasses that would appeal to a younger demographic.

The project began when our team partnered with Dana D'Amico, professor of the special projects class at Pratt Institute, to create a design brief. We wanted to focus on exploring the growing connection between product design and handmade craftsmanship. The collaboration started with conversations with Constantin Boym, chair of the Industrial Design department at Pratt, about how we could continue to build on the relationship between our two organizations.

Throughout the process, we provided students with an in-depth look into our facilities and processes, from glassblowing to ceramics. We also gave them a tour of our flagship Mill location in Vermont, where they learned firsthand about our commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The students were tasked with designing products that embodied Simon Pearce's ethos, focusing on form and function that would appeal to a younger demographic.

The result was stunning: a collection of martini glasses that not only showcased the brand's attention to detail but also highlighted the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Whether you're sipping a Harvest Moon cocktail or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, these handcrafted martini glasses are sure to elevate your happy hour experience.

So why settle for mass-produced glassware when you can have unique, handcrafted pieces that tell a story?
