# Hand-Etched Barware The 3.2.1. Glassware Collection by Kontextur is Stylish and Sophisticated By Meghan Young | Published 2013-02-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/321-glassware References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/kontextur-goes-from-bathroom-to-kitchen-with-new-glassware-collection) & [kontextur](http://www.kontextur.com/product/3-2-1-glassware) The 3.2.1. Glassware collection is made for the super stylish sophisticate. Although the decanter and tumblers appear to be quite classic, they each exhibit striking tweaks that set them apart from other similar barware. First of all, the decanter has a unique triangular shape while the tumblers have an intriguingly raised base. Not to mention that each piece in the 3.2.1. Glassware collection are strikingly etched by hand for a subtle decorative appeal. Designed by New York designer Jeff Miller for Kontextür, a studio best known for their bathroom accessories, the 3.2.1. Glassware collection is being manufactured by BOMMA CR. Perfect for the bedside, fireside and, of course, bar, the 3.2.1. Glassware collection is handblown out of Czech crystal. Although very modern, Don Draper would wholeheartedly approve. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hand-etched Barware:** Opportunity for artisanal craftsmanship in the barware industry. - **Unique Shapes:** Innovative barware designs featuring non-traditional shapes. - **Etched Decorative Appeal:** Demand for barware with subtle, hand-etched decorative elements. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Barware Manufacturing:** Disruptive opportunity for manufacturers to create unique, hand-etched barware collections. - **Artisanal Craftsmanship:** Opportunity for artisans to showcase their hand-etching skills in the barware industry. - **Luxury Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the luxury home decor industry by incorporating hand-etched barware as a stylish and sophisticated addition. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Glassware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-glassware.md) - [Timeless Mixology Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixology-collections.md) - [Ultra-Elegant Glassware Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domain-glass.md) - [Artful Complex Mixology Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bargiani.md) - [Artful Hosting Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-entertaining.md) - [Hand-Blown Glassware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handblown-glassware-collection.md) - [Delicate Monochromatic Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monochromatic-glassware.md) - [Elegant Crystalline Decor Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ensemble.md) - [Glass Geometry Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-collection.md)
