The British designer Peter Saville created a unique range of glassware inspired in laboratory material, for the Manchester’s Museum of Science & Industry. This creation evolves only three glass flasks etched with diagonal stripes, intended as a reference to the English city’s industrial heritage.

Actually, those three diagonal stripes are also featured in Manchester’s coat of arms, representing its three rivers (the Irwell, the Medlock and the Irk). As well as that, they are part of the graphic identity of legendary nightclub The Haçienda.

“This three-lined image is echoed across the worksites of Manchester at its industrial height, before more recently – and perhaps most famously – being appropriated by designer Ben Kelly as a key feature of factory club The Haçienda’s instantly recognisable dance floor,” said the museum.

The glassware is produced and etched in the north of England, coming with a natural silicone base mat and stopper. Since he moved to London, Saville’s clients included department store Selfridges, record label EMI and fashion houses like Jil Sander, John Galliano, Christian Dior and Stella McCartney.

In 2013, he was awarded the London Design Medal, and was at one stage reported to be working on a logo for Kanye West. More recently, he had collaborated with fashion brands like Lacost and Y-3.
