Imagine a time when jazz melodies swirled through smoky speakeasies, and the clinking of glasses signaled nights of revelry and opulence. Fast-forward a century, and while we may have left the flapper dresses and moonshine behind, Luigi Bormioli’s Backdoor 20’s Signature Cocktail Glassware is here to bring the glamour of the 1920s back into your hands. This glassware collection doesn’t just hold your favorite cocktail; it cradles a century’s worth of style, sophistication, and stories waiting to be told—one sip at a time.
Each glass in the range—aptly named Gin & Tonic, Tequila Sunrise, Barracuda, Great Gatsby, Hemingway Special, and the iconic Nick & Nora—is like an ode to a different chapter of the Jazz Age. The Gin & Tonic glass, for instance, feels like it was crafted for a sunset on the Riviera, while the Great Gatsby glass practically demands a rooftop soiree under the stars, where every sip echoes with echoes of old money and forbidden love. The Hemingway Special? Well, it’s pure adventure, with every clink of glass a salute to a life lived on the edge, much like the man himself.
But these glasses are more than just vessels for your vintage vibes—they are works of art crafted in Italy, combining traditional artistry with futuristic innovation. Think of it as the perfect marriage between an old-world tailor and a 21st-century tech genius.
Crafted using SON.hyx technology, each glass is an ultra-clear masterpiece, offering the kind of transparency that lets your cocktail sparkle like it’s auditioning for a starring role in the next Gatsby reboot.
And don’t be fooled by their elegance—these glasses come with Titanium Reinforced stems, which make them 140% more resistant to breakage. That means they’ve got the strength to handle all your wild Prohibition-era reenactments—minus the actual Prohibition.
And like a timeless dance partner who never misses a step, these glasses are dishwasher safe and retain their brilliance for over 4,000 washes. That’s right, long after the jazz has faded and the partygoers have gone home, your Luigi Bormioli glassware will still be twinkling like it’s living its best Gatsby life.
Now, let’s talk aesthetics. Inspired by the art deco movement, these glasses embody the sleek, geometric elegance that defined the era. They are more than just functional pieces; they are like architectural marvels in miniature, designed to turn your home bar into a luxurious speakeasy. Every curve, every edge feels like a piece of history reimagined for the modern-day. You could say each glass is like a small skyscraper of sophistication rising from your hand, ready to take your tastebuds on a trip back in time.
Available at David Jones stores nationwide, this range is your passport to transforming even the simplest of gatherings into an occasion. It’s the kind of glassware that makes you feel like you should be wearing a fedora or a sequined headband, toasting to the night as if it were never going to end.
So, why settle for ordinary when you can pour your drink into a masterpiece? With Luigi Bormioli’s Backdoor 20’s Signature Cocktail Glassware, you’re not just serving up cocktails—you’re serving up a slice of the Jazz Age, a sip of history, and a dash of luxury. After all, as the saying goes, "too much of anything is bad, but too much champagne is just right." And with these glasses, your champagne will never look better.
Cheers to that!
