“What attracted me to this project was in part Andreas Sundgren Granitis description of his ambitions with Brännland Icecider and in part the shape and presentation of the ice cider bottle. A tall, slender bottle, an uncovered neck with the cork showing and a small apple twig printed on the cork.
There was a poetry, a nakedness, in the presentation that sent a strong message of honesty. The image and the essence of the apple caught in the bottle, awoke my curiosity.
To take on a new project it has to make me curious, there has to be an element of learning for myself. The process of shaping a glass together with Brännland Cider and Swedish sommeliers filled those criteria and I started working with this glass, that became La Pomme.
The shape became round and small, lightly closed, glass something that I learned in conversation with the sommeliers would be the best shape for the ice cider.
I also wanted La Pomme to be in some way proportionate to the bottle it comes in. Glass and bottle together creates contrast and stringency between the tall shape and the short, round shape of the glass.
And the glass has become something that I’m very proud of and happy with. Together the Swedish apples, the ice cider and the fact that the glass is produced at Skrufs glasbruk, one of Swedens finest glass producers, creates strong connections that enhances the sense of place that the ice cider conveys.
La Pomme is a glass that is very close to my heart.”
