Product Information

Is an Italian glassware , in Tuscany, which produces Made in Italy products in purest crystal , modeled by hand from a great Italian artisan tradition. The glass was designed by renowned Italian designer Cini Boeri in 1973, and is produced by Arnolfo di Cambio, one of Italy’s most respected glass makers.

While the glassmaker has never stopped making the popular X-shaped glass, the brand seems to have decided it was time to just cut to the chase and name it after the movie that made it famous.When one mentions Blade Runner, countless scenes and lines from the film that have gone down in history recur in the memory, one of which is surely that of Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) investigating the Replicants of the Tyrell Corporation drinking whiskey in the Double Old Fashion glass. The Arnolfo di Cambio collections are designed to combine the pleasures of sight and touch with aesthetic taste , thanks to the talent of historical designers such as Cini Boeri, Ettore Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi and many others. In 1973, she designed the Cibi Collection for Arnolfo di Cambio, a range which included this distinctive piece. Gli aiuti di Stato e gli aiuti de minimis della nostra impresa sono contenuti nel Registro nazionale degli aiuti di Stato di cui all’art. Later, Cini Boeri began working with Marco Zanuso, becoming one of the most important Italian designers of the second half of the 20th century.

Probably the coolest tumbler ever made, the CIBI tumbler, now more commonly known as Blade Runner whisky glasses, are in fact a ‘Double Old fashion glass’ produced by Arnolfo di Cambio, founded in Tuscany, Italy in 1963. The Old Fashioned Tumbler from the Cibi collection, the Bladerunner Glass, is a handcrafted crystal glass ideal for lovers of whisky and spirits, but it also adapts well to italian amaro, especially on the rocks.Why not get yourself a bottle of this classic whisky costs and relive the film in your own home in the most authentic way as possible! You can get the original tumbler as well as a highball glass, decanter, and ice bucket matching the original design. The company thought nothing of the purchase until the next year when Blade Runner was released and several scenes showed Ford’s Deckard drinking Johnny Walker Black out of the Double Old Fashioned Glass. There is even mention of the black ones being "special edition", making me think that the "usual" ones are clear. The wild and iconic animal decorations of the Roberto Cavalli Home Luxury Tableware collection express the bold essence of the brand, produced and distributed by Arnolfo di Cambio.

Ridley and others loved the bottle so much that they wanted a few copies made for production so about a dozen vacuum-formed copies were made. I'm not accident prone nor do I break glasses often, even when I'm drinking, but I don't want to feel terrible if I accidently break a 100.
