We are pleased to announce that our bestsellers, the Lyra and Lyra Vintage bottles, are not only extremely popular with customers but are also proud recipients of the German Design Award 2024. The German Design Awards set international standards for innovative design development and competitiveness in the global market. Award-winning outstanding design achievements ensure that design trends are visible everywhere, both in industrial sectors and in glamorous environments.

The melodic Lyra and Lyra Vintage are undoubtedly among the most striking in the HRASTNIK1860 collection. They capture the essence of spirits in an unforgettable way. Lyra is characterized by a sophisticated design, and its sister, Lyra Vintage, additionally features a ribbed structure that embodies a combination of vintage atmosphere and modern design. Both bottles follow design and sustainability trends, being lightweight, with the thick bottom replaced by a punt, while still retaining the impression of superior aesthetics.

The German Design Award 2024 is thus well-deservedly in the »hands« of both bottles – Lyra and Lyra Vintage!

We have been awarded the highest certificate – the PLATINUM MEDAL. HRASTNIK1860 is rightfully ranked among the top 1% of companies in the global glass industry in the areas of environmental protection, human rights, and sustainable procurement.

RE ◦ water bottle has been honored with the prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design 2023.

The RE ◦ water bottle was developed by Hrastnik1860 Design Studio and produced in our glassworks through a collaboration between our designer, Tanja Mudrinič, and Gašper Puhan, the Vice President of the European Culinary Association, JRE Jeunes Restauranteurs. They designed the bottle with the idea that water deserves a prestigious design while still being practical for use in restaurants.

The bottle features a unique punt design that creates illusions and visual effects, giving the bottle a touch of water’s purity and reflection. It symbolizes the regional diversity of water, shimmers when moved, and ensures great stability due to the weight at the bottom.
