A Tipsy Life
Back in October we invited Loris&Livia to our Creative Process talks at the V&A—along with other creative practitioners.They told the story of Tipsy glass, how they evolved the hunch of an idea into a product, marketed and sold worldwide.
Loris Jacquard mentioned on the night: “TIPSY started as a small local project at Bar Alto in London and is now sold worldwide. But what makes us really proud is that although we are now talking of mass production, we managed to stick to our original concept which was to make each glass truly unique.”

Their presentation focused on how through countless experiments they managed to find their own unique production process and keep total control over it.
Tipsy, by Loris&Livia
Last week, Loris&Livia produced their 10,000th glass!
On this occasion Loris&Livia were interviewed by design magazine Disegno for their pre-Milan Design Week issue along with Viktor and Rolf, Jasper Morrison and Jonathan Olivares. The article goes into the Tipsy details and anecdotes; it is an inspiring read for anyone interested in small batch, designer-led production.
