Fine crystal glass in four different sizes and shapes in a set: The NESTING drinking glasses are equal in volume, fit into each other as a stack and can be stowed away to save space. For water, juice or cocktails. Dishwasher-safe and the shape and material ideally match the carafe of the same name.

When two Swedish industrial designers take on the treatment of tap water: It shows!

Aarke makes water really good - the idea is as simple as its implementation is complex. Carl Ljungh and Jonas Groth, founders of the Swedish design company Aarke, are industrial designers through and through and have been dedicated to the treatment of tap water since 2013. This now very successful venture began with a real nuisance: in their search for a well-designed sparkling water maker, the two Swedish friends despaired at what was available. And not just in terms of aesthetics, but also in terms of function, choice of materials and production. The conclusion was as clear as it was quick: There's a better way - let's just do it ourselves!

Since then, no half measures have been taken under the Aarke name: Aarke develops and produces kitchen appliances - water bubblers, filters, kettles, coffee makers and even glasses - that work convincingly and look good to boot, with the highest standards for every detail and component, no matter how small. The clearly legible and pure design belies the complex inner workings: Carl Ljungh and Jonas Groth, together with engineers and technicians, scrutinize mechanisms, pipes and springs - lever action, pressure distribution and every last detail, take things apart, rethink and optimise until everything - from function to design - is exactly as it should be. So that the water is really good.
