With the new Berlin bar glass collection, Stölzle Lausitz brings the spirit of the 1920s back to life – a time when the German capital became a magnet for art, freedom, and joie de vivre. The series combines nostalgic elegance with modern clarity, inspired by an era in which Berlin’s smoky taverns, legendary bars, and bustling ballrooms transformed the city into one of the world’s most exciting metropolises.
“For me, it was clear: Our glasses should be like Berlin itself – vibrant, a little rebellious, full of charm and energy. Each glass is a small dance on the table, a tribute to the city’s unforgettable nights,” says Leopold Grupp, CEO, Stölzle Lausitz
The seven glass designs intentionally rely on clean, straight lines paired with a wave-like relief structure reminiscent of early 20th-century aesthetics. Fine grooves give the pieces a sense of movement – a nod to Shimmy, Charleston, Swing, and the pulsating nightlife of the 1920s. Rebellious yet elegant, they elevate classic cocktails, long drinks, and contemporary creations into a stylish experience.
“With the BERLIN collection, we wanted to reinterpret typical shapes from the 1920s – elegant, clear, almost reminiscent of early Art Déco – and translate them into a modern context. Nostalgia meets the present, turning each drink into a moment where past and present flow together,” Grupp explains.
“The star engraved in the base of the cocktail and balloon glasses was essential to me. It evokes the Große Stern in Berlin’s Tiergarten, where roads radiate outwards like spokes, symbolizing orientation and move¬ment – like a compass through time. Together with the relief-like lines on the glass, it creates a tactile experience: beneath your fingers, you feel the subtle grooves that give each piece rhythm and character. At the same time, the design had to remain modern, clear, and contemporary – a bridge between past and present.”
