Barduck Set of 2 Glasses
by Ali Bakova
The NUDE Barduck set of glasses bears all the hallmarks of the brand: functionality, ease and high quality. Designed by Ali Bakova and crafted using traditional glassmaking techniques, the distinctive silhouette explores altered states of form and texture with its unusual shape and tactile surface. Made from lead-free crystal, it can be matched with a set of long drink glasses.
INTRODUCING
Ali Bakova
Turkish industrial designer Ali Bakova works from a studio in the large industrial zone of Istanbul’s business district, Maslak, where creative offices and auto repair shops – designers and industry – live side-by-side. In 2015, Bakova, who is also one of the city’s most respected design educators, co-curated an exhibition entitled Atölye Maslak Maker Culture during which the small-scale production of artistic and artisanal objects was conducted on-site, using 3D printers. Bakova’s work can be playful – he may fashion a cat from Iznik tiles or a wooden chair taking its cues from the iconic Galata Bridge – but it also focuses on purity, what is essential and smart functionality.
