Calling all jug aficionados: We're happy to announce the arrival of the 2007 Carlo Rossi Jug Simple Collection. We've partnered with a new set of designers and artists who in turn created limited edition pieces that showcase the simplicity, functionality, and originality of the Jug Simple movement. The newest works in the Collection will be available this fall for a limited time at select retailers.
Renowned glass blower Joe Cariati has created a limited edition series of colorful wine decanters inspired by the practical elements of the iconic 1.5L Carlo Rossi jug, including its glass ring handle.
Select distribution at design boutiques and stores in New York City, Los Angles, San Francisco and Miami; in store October to December 2007.
Los Angeles-based designer Joe Cariati has been glassblowing for over fourteen years. His work is in permanent collections in the Museum of Modern Glass in New Jersey and the Museo Italo-Americano in San Francisco and is currently experiencing a steady stream in the home décor marketplace.
For the Jug Simple Collection, Jason pays homage to the iconic Carlo Rossi 4L jug by using it to beautifully encapsulate an ornate wine glass resting inside the jug. In doing so, Jason's dichotomous design links the simplicity of Carlo Rossi with the entirety of the wine culture.
