Estrella Barware: A Stellar Fusion of Durability and Design

Designer Seda Tunca's Star-Inspired Series Wins Silver A' Award

Unveiled in the vibrant atmosphere of the 2024 Ambiente fair, the Estrella Barware series has captivated audiences with its starry design and robust construction. The series, named after the Spanish word for 'star,' reflects the cosmic dance of light through its kaleidoscopic patterns, adding a touch of the celestial to any beverage.

What sets the Estrella collection apart is its innovative use of automated pressed soda-lime glass, a process that ensures each piece's artisanal quality while championing sustainable manufacturing. This collection is not just about aesthetics; it's engineered to withstand the rigors of high-traffic bar environments, offering unparalleled durability and sturdiness.

With 11 distinct pieces ranging from whiskey glasses to water tumblers, the Estrella series caters to a variety of preferences. Each glass, from the 60 mm shot glass to the 197 mm cocktail glass, is meticulously crafted to ensure a harmonious display when placed side by side, a testament to the designer's attention to detail and production precision.

Behind the series lies extensive research aimed at creating a barware collection that balances elegance with endurance. The challenge was to apply the star motif consistently across all items without compromising on the glasses' proportional harmony or manufacturability—a challenge that Seda Tunca met with exceptional creativity and technical acumen.

The Estrella Barware series' success is underscored by its recent accolade, the Silver A' Design Award, which recognizes the highest levels of design expertise and innovation. This award is a nod to the series' ability to evoke positive emotions and wonder, solidifying its place as a distinguished entry in the world of design.

Protected by intellectual property rights in Turkey and the EU, the Estrella Barware series is not only a triumph of design but also a safeguarded piece of innovation. Seda Tunca's creation is a shining example of how art and functionality can coalesce, offering an elevated experience to the act of sipping a favorite drink under the stars.
