Stölzle Lausitz has launched Métrico – a new crystal glassware series – designed as a stylistic homage to the clarity and durability of the Bauhaus style.
The collection’s design language reflects core principles of this pioneering movement: reduction to the essentials, functional aesthetics, and formal precision. The Métrico glasses are defined by a conical geometry reminiscent of trapezoidal forms and symmetrical proportions—clear references to the famous Bauhaus credo: “form follows function.”
This design philosophy runs through the entire series, which comes in three different sizes tailored to the diverse demands of modern mixology—whether for cocktails with plenty of ice or classic drinks. Clean lines and a robust silhouette lend the glasses both stability and a timeless elegance that places the focus on the drink itself.
Crafted from high-quality crystal glass, the series was developed with an eye for proportion, rhythm, and harmony—design principles that were as central to Bauhaus as they are to the art of cocktail making. The result is a subtle connection between historical design culture and contemporary enjoyment.
A remarkable chapter in the company‘s history is the collaboration with the renowned Bauhaus designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld, who worked as artistic director of Vereinigte Lausitzer Glaswerke (VLG) from 1935. Wagenfeld’s work exemplifies the fusion of industrial manufacturing and artistic design—an ideal also embodied by the Métrico series.
With Métrico, Stölzle Lausitz celebrates not only functional design, but also the legacy of a design movement that continues to set standards around the world.
