I wanted to make a glass I’d reach for again and again. One for morning water and afternoon iced coffee, one I’d want to take with me. By Lake Saimaa I often stop to watch small ripples change the light on the water. I wanted a little of that in Siema. Clear glass lets the drink show through, and the ribs give the light a path.
Siema was born by Lake Saimaa in Finland. A small ripple changes the way the light falls across the water. We see the same quiet movement when we turn a glass in our hands.
The first glass of water in the morning. Ice and milk in an afternoon coffee. A slice of lemon catching the light. Siema makes glass tumblers for moments like these.
One name, two pronunciations
Say Siema
In Finnish, say sie-ma. It brings to mind a sip. In English, we say SIGH-mah, a nod to Saimaa, the lake where our story began.
