The reputation of Tommy is based on a legendary dinner in the year 1928 held in the Hall of Mirrors in the Chateau de Versailles on the occasion of a visit by King George VI; each of the places at the table for guests was set with eleven glasses from the “Tommy” series. The production of these glasses still goes on today and each glass takes ten days to make; ten glassblowers are needed to create the shape and five cutters are required to complete the decoration.
From its star base to its diamond cuts, bevels, chains, and bead-cut hurricanes, this collection showcases all the craftsmanship and dextrous brio of master glassworkers. Tommy spreads out its audacious colors to offer functional new creations for contemporary uses, and reveals a brand-new facet: lighting.
