Design Feature: Waterford

Waterford is a brand well known for their exquisite collections of crystal glassware and other crystal products. The company, which was founded over two centuries ago in the city of Waterford, in Ireland, pride themselves on their unique designs and unrivalled dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The Longest Stay is proud to boast an array of different Waterford products, from glassware perfect for livening up your dining table, to home accessories such as stunning vases equal in beauty to the gorgeous flowers you can place in them. 

As a brand, Waterford have completely reinvented themselves over the past decade, becoming more popular than ever. Their Contemporary Collection, pictured above, highlights their move to modernising their designs, while still keeping their signature elegance and poise. Collaborations with designers such as Jo Sampson, who has created various collections with Waterford, have helped the brand update the aesthetic of their pieces, while keeping intact their passion for traditional craftsmanship.

The Amethyst Champagne Coupe is an excellent example of how Sampson’s designs involve Waterford’s signature style along with her own modern twist. The subtle contrast of the clear and amethyst glass makes for an interesting piece, which will help add a splash of colour to your glassware collection. The Amethyst collection, which also features the Brandy and Rock glasses, aim to provide a luxurious drinking experience with their perfectly crafted shape and size.

Creating your perfect designer dining table is a dream with Waterford. The brand boasts an eclectic collection of glassware, from pieces which exude modernity with bold colours and extravagant designs, to more minimalistic items such as the Elegance Stemless Wine Glasses. These glasses exude contemporary style with their stemless design, making for products that along with decreasing the chance of you spilling your favourite wine, will add a sophisticated and chic feel to any table. These glasses are ideal for casual dinners or for a wine night with friends or family.

The Elegance Accent Decanter is another minimalist piece which flaunts simplicity with its unique and creative design. Its stylish curvatures were specially created in order to enable oxygen to reach the wine inside, ensuring you get the best taste possible. This stunningly sleek piece’s functionality paired with its gorgeous aesthetic makes for a decanter sure to impress and grab attention!

For more colourful and vibrant glassware pieces, look no further than the Waterford Half & Half collection. This striking collection features a mix of stylish home decorations, from bowls and vases, to jugs and water bottles. The collection focuses on a combination of clear and vibrant colour crystal, making for an interesting contrast.

The Azure Collection, which includes the Azure Bowl and the Azure Vase, features a bold design, with its striking blue colour and textured cut glass exuding both elegance and modernity. Due to its multipurpose nature, the bowl can be placed wherever you please, creating an eye catching display, while the vase will contrast beautifully with red roses!
