Hering Berlin
As her inaugural glassware collection, Stefanie Hering designed Domain for her own home in 2009. She aimed for the glasses to convey elegance, albeit subtly, enabling their everyday use. A hallmark of Stefanie's vision is to materialize the crafting process within the design. This is particularly evident in the 'Flow' variation drinking glasses, where the design's faceting is applied manually to the molten glass before it's blown into the mold. The fine stemware spanning from cocktail to wine glasses continues Stefanie Hering's Iconic silhouettes of flowing curves. As an update from her 'Römer' glasses designed in 2009, Stefanie Hering's latest addition to the Domain collection highlights delicate stems and fine, lead-free crystal glass.
Hering Berlin glassware is mouth-blown by master craftsmen in Germany and Bohemia. Each piece combines precision with artisanal individuality, ensuring no two glasses are completely identical.
The designs mirror the brand’s porcelain philosophy: minimalist yet tactile. Surfaces often play with contrasts—frosted, engraved, or clear—just as porcelain pieces mix bisque and glaze. Collections like Domain and Cut show the brand’s architectural approach to glass. Their clean lines and bold proportions make them versatile for both casual and fine dining.
The use of subtle engraving and sandblasting creates refined patterns. These textures catch light beautifully and add grip while holding the glass. Wine, water, whiskey, and cocktail glasses are part of their offering. Each shape is designed to enhance the character of the drink it holds.
The glassware is not only visually striking but also functional. Stems and bowls are carefully balanced for comfort and durability in daily use.
Hering Berlin often designs glassware to be mixed with its porcelain lines. The transparency of glass contrasts harmoniously with the matte porcelain surfaces. Some glassware includes hand-polished details that highlight light and shadow. This creates a play of reflections, making the pieces look almost sculptural on a table.
The brand’s whiskey tumblers and carafes stand out for their masculine elegance. They combine heavy bases with clean, minimalist walls for a refined drinking experience.
Many pieces feature understated, modern silhouettes that never overshadow the drink. The design intent is always to elevate the liquid inside rather than dominate the table. Durability is a key aspect—though delicate in appearance, the glassware is robust. It is crafted to withstand both hospitality use and everyday settings at home.
Hering Berlin glassware embodies the same ethos as its porcelain: “Objects with a Human Touch.” Every sip becomes more sensory, as light, weight, and texture are part of the experience.
