The Lost Explorer x Jonathan Hansen | Martini Glass

Inspired by Dadaist art, this glass is a true collector's item.

Nature as the Source of Art

Nature has gifted humanity with the elements needed to transform them into extraordinary works of art. Nouvel and Lost Explorer know this well, having collaborated on numerous occasions to design sustainable bottles crafted from recycled materials, reducing their environmental impact without compromising on luxury or innovation. The master artisans at Nouvel have fully embraced this mission, channelling their dedication into continued reinvention; and in doing so, they have brought to life one of their most daring collaborations: The Lost Explorer Martini glass, the ideal companion for mezcals and tequilas.

The Spring (1912), Francis Picabia.

A Design That Defies Gravity

This is a glass that challenges the conventions of design and boldly dares to defy the laws of gravity; a living testament to the pursuit of avant-garde reinvention. Conceived by Jonathan Hansen, a bold designer renowned for lending new meaning to everyday objects, the piece draws inspiration from the Dadaist painting The Spring by Francis Picabia, as well as the inherent geometry of the agave plant. Its unique composition features an extraordinarily thick stem that simultaneously supports a chalice entirely offset to one side. The two elements are joined with near-millimetric precision, a connection delicate enough to honour the design, yet robust enough to ensure the pieces remain firmly intact.

Where the Impossible Becomes Reality

Challenges that may seem insurmountable to others become reality within our workshops. Made possible through the union of masterful craftsmanship and the most transparent glass available on the market, this is a true masterpiece in every sense of the word. Limited to just 120 pieces, each one must be regarded as a collector's item in its own right.
