Kor-Alm Wine Fountain

​

During a residency at Schloss Hollenegg for Design in Austria, a deep exploration into the region’s history of Waldglas or Forest Glass, revealed its traditional production method which utilized the area’s abundant resource of quartz sand and wood ash that resulted in the creation glass known for its a distinctive green hue.

 

Drawing inspiration from the land’s natural richness, unused sand from the excavation of the Kor-Alm railway tunnel beneath Schloss Hollenegg's castle ground, was transformed it into a glass with a striking deep green color, shaped by the region’s iron heavy mineral composition. This newly developed "Kor-Alm" glass was then used to craft an extravagant Wine Fountain, designed to elegantly distribute wine into six glasses simultaneously—an homage to Schloss Hollenegg’s private wine production. A toast from the grounds of Schloss Hollenegg!
