Etienne Meneau's Little Heart Glass by Tim Yu
After making a name for himself with a series of unusually-shaped carafes, Etienne Meneau is doing it again with his newest glass piece, named Petit Coeur (little heart). We like how the design recreates the heart in an abstract way by reinterpreting the atriums and ventricles. And is that spout the aorta? Fill it with wine and the puns/comparisons are endless. Wine is good for the heart right?
Made of borosilicate glass, only 12 (eight numbered and signed and four artist proofs) were made and they cost a shocking €1,500. More info at Petit Coeur.
