Barware for creatives
If contemporary or abstract designs are more your thing, consider one of our collections that have come about from the NACHTMANN NextGen series initiative.
NACHTMANN NextGen sees us undertake quests to find the next generation of talented glassware designers. Taking us to leading art colleges around the world, NextGen has so far tapped into young design talent in Prague, Tokyo, New York, Stockholm, Stuttgart, Beijing, London, and Sydney - a truly global approach to modern glassware design! This search has yielded cutting-edge ideas combined with traditional craft skills, helping NACHTMANN to create the next generation of modern classics in glass. The collections that have emerged from NextGen over the years have varied considerably and include the following series that satisfy your barware needs:
- NACHTMANN Sculpture was developed in 2012 by designer Admet Uslu of the Kontsfack University of Arts, Craft, and Design in Stockholm. Sculpture takes inspiration from solid rock sculpting, translating this practice into crystal design and exploring light, reflections, and refractions. In this collection, the decoration's complex geometry counters the clear crystal's brilliance, creating glassware that truly stands out.
- NACHTMANN Shu Fa was developed in 2016 by Mao Churong and Gong Yining of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. A Chinese term that translates to "the art of writing", Shu Fa is inspired by traditional Chinese calligraphic ink paintings. It plays with structure and texture to create a dramatic design for your dining table and is ideal for anyone looking to introduce an East Asian aesthetic to their glassware cupboard.
- NACHTMANN Punk was developed in 2017 by designer Anke Buchmann from University of the Arts, London. The series utilizes key punk visuals, such as studs and spikes, to design a tactile range of barware products. Breaking away from classic design rules, Punk's distinctive aesthetic breaks out of tradition to add impact to every table, making the perfect collection for people who want barware that makes a statement.
For brilliant breakfasts: NACHTMANN Ethno
If you love nothing more than a well-rounded breakfast - food, juice, and coffee all included, NACHTMANN Ethno is the perfect collection to allow you to turn the first meal of the day into an act of pageantry.
NACHTMANN Ethno glassware takes its unique personality from its distinctive, harmonious pattern of close-packed notched elements that create a sparkling display when they're in the light. The easy-going vibe that NACHTMANN Ethno delivers with its crisp style makes it particularly appealing for those laid-back weekend breakfasts where you can take your time and enjoy the luxuries of your breakfast banquet.
Within this collection, you can find tumblers and long drinks for your breakfast juices and smoothies, an array of coffee and hot drink glasses, plus the Ethno 27cm bowl that is at well-suited to some morning oats or granola as it is to a lunchtime salad.
For the coffee fanatic: NACHTMANN Barista
As of 2023, NACHTMANN now delivers coffee-specific glassware with NACHTMANN Barista, taking coffee enjoyment up a notch for whatever your preferred style of coffee is.
Available in our NACHTMANN Ethno and NACHTMANN Noblesse designs, NACHTMANN Barista offers glassware for lattes/latte macchiatos, espressos, cappuccinos, and flat whites, plus a general coffee mug for someone who wishes to adopt a universal approach to their hot beverage enjoyment.

For irresistible gin: NACHTMANN Gin & Tonic
While our NACHTMANN tumblers and long drinks do a remarkable job for many cocktails, gin and tonic calls for something a little different.
The wide bowl on our NACHTMANN Gin & Tonic glasses gives you a gin that will perform at its very best. The wide bowl captures and concentrates the aromas of your gin, as well as allowing for plenty of ice and garnishes that give your gin a little more pizzazz. The stems featured on these gin glasses also provide a comfortable grip and help you to maintain your drink's temperature by keeping your hand away from the cool bowl housing your cocktail.
With that, we hope you feel assured that we have the glassware that satisfies your needs and that you can quickly and efficiently pick out the set you want to help elevate your future dining experiences.
