PŮLLITR LOKÁL
Czech beer deserves Czech glassware – that's why we've revived the tradition of half-liter glasses made from genuine Czech crystal. The design was created in collaboration with designers Michal Froňek and Jan Němeček (Olgoj Chorchoj studio, head of the D3 Product Design Studio at UMPRUM) and their students as part of their semester project. Production was undertaken by the Czech glassworks BOMMA, which boasts a long tradition and unique beer glass pressing technology.
The Lokál pint glass was designed by Tereza Bláhová, a fourth-year student at the Product Design Studio at UMPRUM. She was inspired by traditional reliefs, which she transformed into a modern wavy radiant pattern – this acts as an optical illusion and at the same time refers to historical glass decoration. Her design is intended exclusively for Lokál and you won't see it anywhere else. Unless, of course, you put it on your table.
The pint glass is packaged in an original gift box from studio Činčera.
Unique production
BOMMA was born in a historic Czech region with centuries of glassmaking heritage, where traditional craftsmanship is elevated to a sophisticated art form.
In the production of pint glasses, glassmakers used beer glass pressing technology – molten glass was poured into a three-part mold, and after pressing, the pint glasses were sent to a series of burners for final polishing and then to a cooling furnace, where they slowly released internal tension for several hours so that the glass would not crack spontaneously and would become more durable.
Stress test
We tested the pint glasses extensively during the summer. We took feedback from guests and bartenders into account and in November produced 2,000 pieces, which you will find in Lokál Dlouhááá and Lokál Korunní during the winter months.
Aesthetic and functional material
Genuine Czech crystal boasts exceptional clarity, shine, and durability. The glasses are designed to fit comfortably in your hand, be easy to wash, and be durable enough for everyday use.
Easy maintenance
The pint glass is very durable and dishwasher safe. It is designed to last as long as possible so that even future generations can enjoy drinking from it.
