Overview
The Glass of the "Most Beautiful Dish of the Year" (New York Post) is available to the public for the first time: Sinstella! In 15 years close collaboration with celebrity chefs worldwide, VERA PURE has designed and patented SinStella, an eye-catching glassware, which brings the fine dining experience to a whole new level. After a year of exclusive usage in Gabriel Kreuther's Restaurant in Manhattan, New York, you can now bring this experience back to your own home.

Introducing SinStella, "The New Art of Glamorous Drinking"

New York Post: "Most beautiful Dish of the Year" served in the SinStella UFO.

SinStella Features

 

 

Timeless: “A true eye-catcher” 
 
In the words of a true master chef Gabriel Kreuther, SinStella is an intriguing conversation piece on the table. Served with champagne, it creates beautiful bright reflections around the room and elevates the dining experience.

 


Expert involvement: “Simply perfect”

More than 10 years of cooperation with some of the World´s best chefs provided us with crucial industry insights. Combining their wishes with our designer experience and know-how, we have brought SinStella to perfection. 

 

 

Versatile: "Let´s get creative"

SinStella glassware was developed so it fits different types of events and occasions. As different inputs fit the glass base perfectly, it will encourage creativity when setting up your festive table.

 

 

Joyful: “... yet glamorous”

Although chefs usually describe SinStella as playful, it is still very glamorous and will serve as an ice-breaker on the table, impressing your guests with its iridescent sparkles and reflections.  

 

 

Sparkling: “A string of bubbles”

We all love those glittering strings of pearls rising up the glass. This is why the elegant SinStella design makes pouring and drinking champagne even a bigger sensation. Simply put, our champagne bubbles longer.

 

 

Individualized: “Tell your story”  

SinStella glasses come as pure and sand-brushed. We can also make them more personal by engraving them with your personal decorations, monograms, initials, patterns, signs. Perfect for special occasions, so let´s make your glasses even more exclusive!

*For all the chefs, caterers and restaurant owners among you, SinStella might make your job easier! 

Robust: “Strong and made to last”

We believe all good things should last, so we made SinStella glasses much more robust than the traditional glasses. Traditional breaking points are eliminated or reduced to a minimum. In case the Flute breaks, the base remains the same.

 

Sustainable: "The glass that lasts "

Sustainability is our way of thinking and this is why we decided to offer special After Sales Support. This means, in case of a slightly chipped glass edge, we can still simply grind it down. Please, have in mind that the Support takes place in Central Europe, so transportation costs have to be taken seriously.

 

Perks

Shipping Information: We have been asked about the calculation of our shipping costs. This is an estimation that takes into account the delicate shipping of glass including the insurance. Our SinStella will be sent out in elegant boxes that ideally serve as presents!

You can choose from several SinStella combinations to match your needs. Our perks are created so they fit different types of events and special occasions, from the Romantic couple set for an evening with your special someone and the Small dinner set to celebrate a special occasion with your closest family members, all the way to our Gastronomy offers which would fit a wedding or a similar celebration of a bit bigger scale. 

To support us, you can choose among the following perks: 

 

 

Why is SinStella better?

We have designed SinStella so it eases the problems of the fine dining industry while still offering a special, glamorous experience for the guests.

With our truest appreciation of the crafting process, we have committed ourselves to the highest quality and ethical standards from the choice of materials to the final production and delivery.

SinStella is brought to life in a magnificent artistic process. The base is cut out of a block of massive, flawless, entirely bubble-free optical K9 glass and then extensively polished, while the Flutes are mouth-blown crystal glasses of highest quality, unlike the ever more popular cheap borosilicate glass imitations often used today.

This will make you and your guests handle the SinStella with even greater attention, just as precious, luxurious glass pieces should be handled.

In a case of damage, only the bowl has to be replaced, the base remains the same. Still, glass safety is even further improved with the special SinStella tray, which prevents unpleasant accidents and breakage of glass by firmly keeping the glass inputs like the Flute.

This makes SinStella even more convenient for very different formats of parties and events, such as receptions and catering events, but also a bit more cheerful special occasions, such as big celebrations and weddings.

And don’t  worry, if the SinStella base is not close for you to lay aside your Flute, you can simply put it in your blazer.

FAQs

 

What does SinStella mean?

SinStella is Latin for "without a star". As the Red Bull Hangar 7, a previous airplane Hangar and the current location of the famous restaurant Ikarus, was the inspiration for the shape of SinStella, we decided to focus on the sky and space for our new glass series. The UFO, Enterprise, the Shot and the Flute are all the "stars" that fill the SinStella.

 

Where is the Company based?

VERA PURE is based in Switzerland, in the Kanton St. Gallen, a country that's tradition with luxury and jewelry goes back for centuries.

 

How are the glasses packed?

We will inform about the packaging more concretely during the campaign. But the packaging will fit the content and certainly be an eye catcher itself, ideal to be used as a present. In case you wish to split an order of 4, 6, 12 or more for yourself and friends as gifts, please contact us directly to send you the sets accordingly.

 

How will my glasses be shipped to me?

We are working with a trusted warehouse and distribution partner with locations in the US and Europe that will ensure a safe delivery of your glasses worldwide. 

 

Where will my glasses be shipped from?

Shipments for the entire World will be fulfilled from Switzerland.

 

How have you determined the shipping prices?

We invested a lot of time in the research and several tests with other product lines to find a distribution partner that ensures the best prices for you while securing to deliver safely.

 

Who do I contact for Press Relations and Partnership opportunities?

Nihada Prnjavorac communication@verapu.re +436603851600

 

Where is the glass produced?

The first series was made in cooperation with a European producer and a partner factory near Hong Kong. The next series is planned in direct collaboration with a partner near Hong Kong.

 

How is the SinStella Base produced?

The SinStella Base is made of optical prismatic K9 Glass. It is cut out of a flawless block of glass without any impacts. Like a sculptor out of marble, this block is cut and brought into the shape of the SinStella Base.

 

How are the SinStella Flutes produced?

The SinStella Flutes are of the highest quality of crystal glass. Compared to many cheap borosilicate glass imitations, that are becoming more and more popular, we did want to preserve the best quality. We have the highest respect for the artisanal techniques in the manufacturing process. The unique production methods lead to the fact that each glass varies slightly. In the process, all of nature's main elements play a role: the sand as the base, the fire for the heating process, the air that combusts for the fire, the air that is blown in the process and the water that cools it down. A beautiful craft!

 

How should the SinStella Base and Flutes be handled and washed?

The glass should be cleaned and handled in the same manner you would any of your other 
specialty glassware. Like any other glass, you just want to be mindful to not shock the glass with exposure to one extreme temperature and then the other. That includes avoiding to let it fall to the ground. Glass remains breakable obviously. 

 

Is SinStella glass dishwasher safe?

We recommend not to use the glass in the dishwasher. High-quality crystal glasses or even optic prismatic glasses live shorter, if not handled like the luxury pieces that they are.

 

Is the glass made with any materials that could be harmful to my health?

No. Only the best possible glass is utilized. We are not aware of any glass or sand allergy. But we assume that you would be aware of this fact and avoid such products in this particular condition.

 

For what liquids can the SinStella Flutes be used? 

When we created the SinStella Flute, we had a Champagne in mind. But this eye-catching glass can easily be used for particular beers, white wines, and juices as well! 

 

Will you be making colored versions of the glass?

A colored version of the glass is in consideration. Especially a golden version of the flute is highly possible. If you have any suggestions, please send them to us!

communication@verapu.re

 

What engraved collection will be offered in the future?

We will offer a Heart, wind around hearts, two rings forming infinity and many others. If you have any suggestions, please send them to us!

communication@verapu.re

 

What happens if I want to use the After Sales Support?

In case your glasses would have slightly chipped egdes, we can still grind them down. Sustainability is very important to us and this is the reason to offer the After Sales Support. Having said that, we want to make you aware of the fact, that this support of ours is taking place in Central Europe and, as such, transportation costs need to taken seriously into account.
