"What would you take with you if there was a fire?" I asked interdisciplinary designer Nada Elkharashi when she presented her new collection, which consists of drinking glasses of a different kind.
The "Form Follows Culture" collection consists of five glasses that you can't just down a drink with. On the contrary, they are all designed so that you can only drink from them slowly. Nada believes that the key to healthy hydration is not how much water you drink, but how you drink it.
The new shape is meant to give you the chance to enjoy the moment of drinking more. When I ask the designer which of the glasses she would take from the line if a fire broke out and all the people as well as animals were saved, her choice is the three-gulp vessel.

Because furniture fairs are often hectic, I sometimes have no choice but to be brief. That's why, at this year's Salone, I asked the designers:inside just the one hypothetical question: "What would you take with you from your studio in the event of a fire?" - just to find out what they are particularly passionate about.
