HOW WE WORK Passing on the flame rather than preserving the ashes: this is the approach that we at RIEDEL have been taking for eleven generations now – ever since the company was founded in 1756. The lead crystal company F.X. NACHTMANN, founded in 1834, is also part of the RIEDEL dynasty and applies the same guiding principle to its work. Our world-famous RIEDEL glasses take the pleasure of a fine wine to a whole new level, and the unique sparkle and delicate design of NACHTMANN lead crystal are truly dazzling. Featuring a combination of expert craftsmanship and innovative, elegant design, these two brands are ideally positioned to continue their success well into the future – a future perfectly embodied by Eva and Laetizia Riedel. The mother-and-daughter team bear the RIEDEL flame, ensuring that it will continue to burn as brightly and as passionately as ever as it is passed on to the next generation.

LIVING IN COLOR Brighten your home with some dazzling eye candy from Dancing Stars. But NACHTMANN glass is not just for decoration; it can also put a bit of sparkle into everyday life – for you and your kids. Looks like someone thought this Dancing Stars plate from the Bossa Nova series made the perfect landing strip for a toy airplane! After all, life holds many surprises in store, but not to worry – our high-quality glass can keep pace.

Flower and Power Arranging flowers is one of Laetizia Riedel’s passions, and her home resembles a florist’s studio. Too bad not all vases are lucky enough to be graced with blossoms and many spend most of their lives empty. NACHTMANN vases, however, are beautiful enough to stand on their own and add beautiful decorative touches to your home – even without flowers.

Inspiration We find inspiration for our quality designs everywhere. Often it’s nature, but it could just as well be a particular style of clothing – which might explain the cinched-in waist of the RIEDEL Swirl glass. But regardless of its particular style, every RIEDEL and NACHTMANN product begins on paper. When it comes to what we do, we never lose sight of what French glass designer Maurice Marinot said a century ago: “I believe that a beautiful piece of handblown glass should contain as much as possible of the breath that created it.”

GLASS TREASURES As children we were fascinated by the glasses lined up in our parents’ glass cabinet. They seemed to gleam brighter than gold, and when Mom lifted you up to reach one down, it was like plucking a glittering star from the sky. We should all listen to the child within – and to the words of the great German writer Theodor Fontane: “I have always believed that there are things more valuable than gold. Glass, for example, is far more useful.” 1

COOKING UP STYLE NACHTMANN and RIEDEL luxury glass products really come into their own in the kitchen. Of course, whipping up culinary delights requires creativity and imagination, which is often fuelled by the “one for me, one for the pot” approach when cooking with wine. RIEDEL’s lovely Doozy glasses are just perfect for holding an inspiring sip of whatever is going into tonight‘s dinner. Why not try an Austrian wine next time? It would be the perfect complement to Austrian-made RIEDEL glassware.

TRICK OF THE LIGHT Nothing catches light like a beautiful glass. Crystal glass can only unfold its true brilliance with a perfect cut, which refracts and perfectly reflects the light. Skilled NACHTMANN designers know exactly how to subtly decorate glass to complement the unique properties of crystal. They create products of such quality and beauty that it seems as if they captured a sunbeam in each and every one. 1 Nachtmann Brillance: Votive / Tea light holder SLICE: Votive / Tea light holder 2 RIEDEL Sommeliers grüner Veltliner: Glasses Bliss: Decanter 3 Nachtmann Corallo: Candleholder (three- or four-armed) Christmas: Christmas trees, votive / Tea light holder: star and pine cone 4 Nachtmann Bossa Nova: Plate 5 Nachtmann Slice: Champagne bucket (can also be used as a vase) 6 Nachtmann MAmbo: Plate

A MATTER OF TASTE We all know mothers and daughters have very different ideas when it comes to clothes. A session in the dressing room might start out fun, but can soon get so stormy that candles quiver. The next generation has its own taste, after all. Champagne, on the other hand, is one area where mother and daughter can always agree. The new NACHTMANN Delight toasting flutes come in four pantograph designs that all bespeak an exquisite sense of style and savoir-vivre.

NATURALLY REFINED Have Mother Nature set the table for a summer barbecue. NACHTMANN’s new glass series Sahara, Ocean and Atlas are inspired by graceful forms found in nature. Sahara takes its cue from gently rolling sand dunes and casts them in sparkling gold. Ocean glassware traces the gentle swell of the sea. Atlas echoes slate-gray rock formations. All glass products are dishwasher-safe.

TRADITION Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going? Musing about the deeper meaning of life is best done over a drink with good friends. But while there are no definite answers to those questions, one thing is for sure: Glass is an integral part of all our lives. Glass is imagination, art, technology, culture, tradition and the future. Glass is life – and at RIEDEL and NACHTMANN, we are committed to making sure it lives on through the coming generations.
