Halloween is a time when the boundaries between reality and imagination dissolve, when homes are lit by flickering candles and tables are transformed into theatrical sets that evoke ancient stories, secrets, and timeless symbols. It is a celebration in which we embrace the dark side with a smile, where fear becomes fascination and the macabre is transformed into elegance.
In this context, the Memento Mori collection by Nude Design Glass reaches its maximum expression. The faceted skulls, designed by Ali Bakova, are true crystal sculptures, capable of capturing and refracting light like precious gems. Each reflection seems to whisper the ancient mantra memento mori: remember that life is precious, seize the moment.
Alongside them, the Memento Mori Skull Bowl designed by Erdem Akan represents the perfect balance between the tradition of glassmaking and a rebellious spirit. This skull-shaped bowl combines historical craftsmanship with the designer’s punk-rock roots, creating an object that is both functional and elegant. The large version in lead-free smoked gray crystal becomes a showpiece, dominating the table with its sculpturalpresence—an ornament that becomes a container, a container that becomes a work of art.
The latest addition to the collection, the Memento Mori Whisky Bottle, once again bears the visionary signature of Ali Bakova. Made in Istanbul for Nude, this skull-shaped bottle is crafted from faceted crystal glass that captures light in a mesmerizing way. Topped with a practical stopper, it stands out as a design object destined to catch the eye on any table. Paired with matching whisky glasses, it offers maximum visual and emotional impact: an invitation to toast in style, transforming every sip into a
theatrical and unforgettable moment.
For a more intimate touch, the Memento Mori Tealight Holder enriches the table setting like a small domestic ritual: its essential lines convey warmth and intimacy, almost like a talisman that protects the home and collects thoughts and moments of quiet.
Finally, the Shade collection designed by the NUDE Design Team completes the setting with a play of shadows and transparencies, adding depth and mystery. Cigar ashtrays, highball glasses, and whiskey bottles: it is as if the table itself becomes a stage, where each Nude object plays its part in a continuous dialogue between light and darkness.
