Heads Up

Heads Up Centrepiece

by Nigel Coates

Taken from the NUDE Heads Up collection — a collaboration with an English architect, Nigel Coates — this centrepiece is characterised by its poetic curvilinear silhouette, handblown from crystalline glass. The result is a fabulously contemporary vessel, beautiful enough to keep on permanent display.

Height: 9 in
Diameter: 12 2/3 in
Material: lead-free crystal

The mastery and craftsmanship of handmade glass is a signature of NUDE.

NUDE prides itself in its artisanal approach to glassware, specializing in handmade, pure crystalline glass, be the pieces blown or press-blown. With their Master blowers, NUDE continues to hand
make much of the world’s most acclaimed glassware.

We recommend washing this product by hand using a soft sponge, brush or by hand.

Please avoid using the scourer side of the sponge as it will create scratching on the surface of the glass.

After hand washing, let the product dry. Finish cleaning by drying and polishing the product using a soft cloth, preferably microfiber.

Introducing

Nigel Coates

Nigel Coates is one of the UK’s most creative thinkers, architects and educators. He is the designer of everything from ground breaking restaurant and retail interiors in countries as diverse as Japan and Turkey, to museum extensions in London, and high-end products for grand European marques, all informed by a sensual and organic quality and a fluidity of line. He has written with unbridled imagination about what cities could be, and fiercely defends the idea that function and aesthetics can happily co-exist. From 1995 to 2011 Nigel Coates also led the Architecture Department at the Royal College of Art in London, and is now establishing a new model for architectural education at the London School of Architecture, based in East London. He divides his time between the UK and Tuscany, where he has restored a 15th century hilltop house in his own unique style. It is this close relationship with Tuscany, and its grand wines, which has directly informed his first collection for Nude.
