French Flemish Glasses by Wieki Somers

French Flemish Glasses, 2004

Designed in 2004, the French Flemish Glasses bring two drinking cultures together in one thoughtful form. Created by Wieki Somers for the French–Flemish border region, where wine and beer are equally part of daily life, the glasses are carefully shaped to suit both beverages. One glass, two traditions.

Simple yet rich in meaning, the design gently questions everyday habits and expectations. With French Flemish Glasses, Somers turns a familiar table object into a quiet reflection on place, identity, and how design can connect cultures through use.
