Cibi Double Blade Runner Whisky Glass (Twin Pack) 37cl

Product Information

Interestingly Chris Baker said in an interview on Medium“If I designed Rogue City now I would have been a little bit more subtle. I would have stopped it from being overly feminine as well because it’s one sided, It’s very female oriented. I would have intertwined it so you were not quite sure what’s male and what’s female. I have always thought of it as being the sexual equivalent of Las Vegas”. The Double Old Fashioned Tumbler from the CIBI collection is the real Bladerunner Glass, used in the famous film. This handcrafted crystal glass is perfect for lovers of whisky, spirits and drinks with a vintage taste. Cibi collection This is a wonderful opportunity to own an iconic piece of original Blade Runner memorabilia. The glassware will also appeal to whisky drinkers everywhere, particularly those with an interest in stylish design and traditional craftsmanship. The following year the movie Blade Runner, Ridley Scott’s visionary masterpiece, was released in cinemas.

Blade Runner Glass | The Original One, only For Whisky Lovers

The Memory Orb is my favourite piece of kit in the movie. This piece of wizardry is used to design memories for Wallace’s replicants, to help create structure for their personalities. These memories are created by a singular genius artist – Dr. Ana Stelline, a kind of virtual 3D artist using the Memory Orb to manipulate holographic stories which are then coded into replicants to make them feel more ‘real’ or human. “There’s a little of every artist in their work” she says. Dr. Ana Stelline creates memories for replicants using the Memory Orb In 2049 we find little evidence of the kind of high-tech gadgetry and interactive, holographic computer screens that we have become used to in sci-fi films. Instead we find what Set Decorator Querzola described to me as a “sidebar” view of the future. Villeneuve and the production team wanted to create a future which extended the vision of the first movie and they found a grounding in this vision by imagining how the year 2049 might look if Steve Jobs and Apple hadn’t existed.Born in Milan and graduated from the Polytechnic in 1951, Cini Boeri was immediately noticed by her design teacher Giò Ponti, who encouraged her to paint.

The Blade Runner Wiki t ells us “ Dr. Ana Stelline is a subcontractor under the Wallace Corporation working as a memory designer at an ‘upgrade center’ named ‘Stelline Laboratories’. Although enamored with her work, Stelline is confined within an isolated dome, only visible through a visitor window; due to a ‘compromised immune system’, meaning that if she were to leave, she would die and the sole reason she is not off-world. Her parents had put her there, but gave her enough to make her happy”. The Memory Orb in Blade Runner 2049 Probably the coolest tumbler ever made, the 1974 Arnolfo di Cambio CIBI tumbler, now more commonly known as Blade Runner whisky glasses are in fact a ‘Double Old fashion glass’ by The Arnolfo di Cambio company which was founded in Tuscany, Italy in 1963 and in the course of five decades and three generations has become one of Italy’s leading glass manufacturers. Lighting and cinematography also influenced the choice of furniture and design: “Roger Deakins had a big part in the creative process, we worked very closely looking at possible light s sources. Together we also designed and custom made light fixtures and testing all manner of materials” Querzola continues.

Blade Arnolfo di Cambio Whisky Tumblers Now Honor Their ‘Blade

Designed by the famous Italian designer Cini Boeri, the CIBI collection is characterized by the X-shaped body, which not only gives movement but also allows an easy and firm grip. But the visionary Cibi collection has won its place in the history of world cinema. The CIBI Single Old Fashioned Whisky Glass is a scaled down version of the larger glass that features in the movie. We get a better view of them in a behind-the-scenes shot of Denis Villeneuve on set, but they played even more of a starring role in the first movie.

The production and art department teams found plenty of Brutalist inspiration when scouting the angular, concrete buildings in Budapest where the movie was shot but there has been some debate on the use of this word as a visual style or as reference to Brutalism, the architectural movement born in the 1950s. Brutalist architecture has its roots in socialism and is so much more than a look or style – which is actually at odds with the film’s take on a future born from capitalism, as pointed out in an interesting article on Failed Architecture. K and his Spinner in Blade Runner 2049 The Blade Runner whisky glass is made from hand blown crystal glass by the original Italian company since 1974. These heavyweight Cibi stunning glasses command respect. Designed by Cini Boeri, made by Arnolfo di Cambio, and tried and tested (a little too frequently) by Film and Furniture.

Cibi Double Old Fashioned glass – The Bladerunner glass

I was delighted to give a talk at a recent screening of Blade Runner 2049 hosted at the stunning The Conran Shop showroom in London’s Fulham Road in collaboration with Sony. I took this opportunity to dissect and discuss my favourite artefacts in the film. Here I share my opinions on the hidden narrative behind these objects, supplemented by fascinating facts gleaned from conversations with the movie’s Set Decorator Alessandra Querzola SDSA and Concept Artist Mike Hill. Given the technological, political and environmental news that has hit us over the last few months, the choice and design of many of these objects predict the future with more insight than one might realise. Blade Runner (1982) These same glasses also make a star appearance in Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities – The Viewing episode. This is Luv (Sylvia Hoeks). She works for the head of the Wallace Corporation, Niander Wallace and she is ruthless. She is his soldier, his warrior. Wallace played by Jared Leto (interestingly, David Bowie had been earmarked for the role) is the zen-like inventor who has taken over and well-surpassed the technology developed by Tyrell in the creation of replicants. Now he is the most powerful man on the planet. I love the memory orb not only as a design object but also conceptually as an artefact that makes us consider what it means to be human and because of the questions it throws up around the connection between memory and identity. The geometric shapes of the architecture and interiors create dramatic shadows cast by the yellow light. There is no natural sunlight in the building so Wallace has created his own (show off!).
