Danish designer Rikke Hagen has created a set of stemless cognac glasses for homeware brand Normann Copenhagen.

"The stem kept irritating me," says Hagen. "I took the consequence and cut it off. That’s how my Cognac Glass was born."

Hagen has also created a set identical smaller glasses for drinking liqueurs.

The following is from Normann Copenhagen:

Pure Pleasure

The Cognac Glass is a beautiful combination of function and pure pleasure. It’s a glass conceived to considerate bouquet, temperature and volume. It provokes pleasure and increases the experience of intimacy, when drinking cognac.

The concern to quality of cognac resulted in the shape of the glass, which increases the pleasure of deep colour and movement of the liquid.

Rikke Hagen explains:
I wanted to craft a cognac glass. The perfect gift to the man, who has everything. The inspiration springs from my own perception of when you drink cognac; that is when you have time and in calm surroundings.

I wanted the glass to give the user a feeling of a gentleman’s study and at the same time, the sense of calmness you get when you e.g. fondle a stone. The stem kept irritating me. I took the consequence and cut it off. That’s how my Cognac Glass was born.
