Let’s make your table glow.
We’re not just pouring water or wine here - we’re curating moments. Setting the scene. Turning Tuesday night takeout into a thing. And at Slowdown Studio, our glassware isn’t just drinkware - it’s designware. Think colourful, sculptural, joyful pieces that feel as good in your hand as they look on your shelf.
Whether you’re a maximalist with a rotating tablescape or a minimalist who loves a singular, perfect piece, this collection was made for the ones who want their home to feel as expressive as they are.
Below, we’re breaking down some of our favorite glass pieces - from playful flutes to bedside carafes - plus a few Christmas homeware gifts that’ll delight even the hardest-to-buy-for aesthete.
Your Drinking Ritual, Reimagined
Let’s start with a few stars that aren’t just on the table - they’re stealing the spotlight.
Pomponette Champagne Flutes: A Celebration in Every Sip
If you’ve ever wished your glassware had a little more oomph, meet the Pomponette Champagne Flutes by Maison Balzac. These hand-blown beauties come sprinkled with colorful glass spheres that dance playfully along the rim - like bubbles that forgot to burst. Pop the cork on your favorite bottle or a Tuesday-night prosecco, and watch the room instantly feel a little more festive. Perfect for special occasions, but let’s be honest: joy is reason enough.
🍾 Bonus: They’re the ultimate party starters and a sure add to any design lover’s Wish List.
Bedside Carafe & Glass: Because Hydration Deserves a Moment
Sculptural, pink, and French-inspired - the Bedside Carafe & Glass Set by Maison Balzac is what happens when form meets function and they decide to get drinks. Crafted from borosilicate glass in a soft, dreamy pink, this drinkware set adds intention to your nightly ritual. Keep it on your nightstand, or let it steal the show as a decor piece on your dining table or shelf.
Fruit Salad Coasters: Your Bar Cart’s New Best Friend
Designed by Piecework, the Fruit Salad Coasters bring juicy, playful charm to your next table setting. Each linen coaster is embroidered with a different fruit (strawberry, kiwi, watermelon, orange), ready to catch every drip with style. They’re not just functional - they’re tiny textile artworks. And they make a deliciously unexpected holiday gift.
Everyday Drinking Glasses, Upgraded
Not every drink needs a celebration, but why not make every drink feel like one?
Slowdown’s everyday glasses (like our Large Glass Cups in seasonal sets) bring color and asymmetrical shapes to your dining table - no occasion required. Whether you’re sipping cold brew or crafting an Old Fashioned, these coloured glasses blend practicality with sculptural beauty. They add texture to your table arrangements, and yes - they’ll catch the light just right on your open shelves.
Elevate your daily drink rotation. Coffee? Wine? Hydration? These glasses do it all - and look amazing doing it.
Maison Balzac Tableware & Areaware Butter Dish
Sculptural, Statement, and Absolutely Sip-Worthy
Let’s talk tabletop artistry. From glass plates to crystal-clear glasses, Maison Balzac knows how to craft luxury glassware that toes the line between whimsical and refined. Pieces like the Pomponette Carafe feature vibrant hues and Italian craftsmanship that nod to classic Murano Glass traditions, with a cheeky twist.
On the other end of the table, the Everything Nice Butter Dish by Areaware brings softness and shine to your spread. It’s the kind of piece that turns “pass the butter” into a moment. Bonus? It plays well with other tableware sets, especially during Holiday Sale season when your table is doing double-duty for hosting.
Why Glassware Matters More Than You Think
Glassware isn’t just about what you drink - it’s about how you feel while drinking it.
Do you reach for a thin-lipped red wine glass on a cozy winter night? Pour seltzer into a water goblet that feels like it belongs on a European dining table? Or maybe you're a collector of Cocktail/Champagne Coupes, each one a tiny tribute to Venetian glassblowers and their centuries-old glassmaking techniques.
Each piece tells a story: of design, of craft, of care.
At Slowdown, we’ve sourced pieces with soul - from the engraved working of Irish Lace White Wine Sets, to the modern crystal cut designs found in the Lismore Connoisseur Heritage collection. Each piece is curated to bring a moment of art to your everyday.
Because glassware isn’t just utility - it’s a ritual, a vibe, a whole mood.
Set the Scene: Table Styling Tips
Want your table to look casually curated without overthinking it? Try this:
-
Mix materials – Pair Venetian glass with a ceramic dish or linen napkin for contrast.
-
Layer colors – Stack glass bowls with mismatched plates for an unexpected punch.
-
Add lighting – A triplex opaline glass diffuser or sculptural lighting design can take your tablescape to the next level.
-
Include odd numbers – Sets of three or five create visual interest.
-
Embrace asymmetry – A few off-centered placements make the table feel lived-in and chic.
