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

Product Information

Cini Boeri (1924) is an influential Italian product designer and architect. In 1973, she designed the Cibi Collection for Arnolfo di Cambio, a range which included this distinctive piece. 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. 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 F582 or ‘Ribbon Chair’ was designed in the 1960s by Pierre Paulin for Artifort. Paulin’s designs are distinctive in their striking sculptural shapes and earned him many prizes worldwide.Her office sits below Wallace’s main room, and the dappled light on the walls are created by the reflections of the water above. Querzola tells me she chose the Pierre Paulin chair in response to this lighting by Deakins: “I wanted curves and flow, I couldn’t imagine these light waves reflecting on a cube-shaped chair. I also wanted something neat but eclectic”. The Pierre Paulin ribbon chair by Artifort

Cibi Double Old Fashioned glass – The Bladerunner glass

These gorgeous, hand blown, heavy weight, double old fashioned glasses have been made by same Italian glass company in Tuscany since 1974 and are available to buy in our store. 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. Director DENIS VILLENEUVE on the set of Alcon Entertainment’s sci fi thriller BLADE RUNNER 2049 in association with Columbia Pictures, domestic distribution by Warner Bros. Pictures and international distribution by Sony Pictures Releasing International. The Arnolfo di Cambio heavyweight glass whisky tumbler as see in Blade Runner.I adore the 300-story Wallace Corporation’s interiors and vast architectural spaces. These palatial, cathedral-like rooms were influenced by an ancient temple in Kyoto, Japan. We find wooden floors and walls and a large pond of water in the middle. In Blade Runner 2049 natural resources such as these as so rare that they signify real luxury and wealth. The Wallace Corporation building in Blade Runner 2049 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 memory orb movie prop was made as a fully functional physical object. 2049 Property Master Doug Harloker explains in the You Tube video Adam Savage Explores the Props of Blade Runner 2049! how the memory orb is made up of concentric rings which move by pressing different buttons. These rings move at different speeds and the speed is controlled by a button on one end. It’s structurally reminiscent of a series of camera lenses joined together. 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 Joshi’s (Robin Wright) LAPD office in Blade Runner 2049 we find an oh-so-beautiful grey metal E63 Table Lamp (also called the Ruspa Table Lamp) designed by Umberto Riva. 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. 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) Gassner created what he refers to as a “pattern language” – a core vision which informed the production design, the sets and the choice of many of the objects and artefacts throughout the movie. This began with the redesign of the iconic flying police car – K’s Spinner, which is particularly angular and robust. 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 collectionWe 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 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!).
