A glass you don't need to save only for guests
Some beautiful glasses spend most of their lives in a cupboard, waiting for a special occasion. Others are so versatile that you find yourself reaching for them almost every day.
The COCOON Crystal Water / Universal Glass [STÖLZLE] 447ml manages to be both.
It has the elegance of a premium crystal glass, but without the stem and formality of a traditional wine glass. Put it on the table when friends come over and it will look perfectly at home; the next day, use it simply for water, juice or a glass of white wine.
It is the kind of glass that doesn't need a special occasion to look special.
Much more than a water glass
The 447ml COCOON shape is exceptionally versatile.
It works beautifully as an elegant glass for still or sparkling water, but its shape is also suitable for fresh and aromatic white wines, rosé, soft drinks and a variety of stemless cocktails.
For white wine, it is an interesting choice for varieties and styles such as:
- Riesling – particularly fresh and aromatic styles;
- Sauvignon Blanc – with its citrus, fruity and herbaceous aromas;
- Chardonnay – from fresh styles to wines with greater body;
- Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris;
- rosé wines with fresh and aromatic profiles.
And if wine is not on the menu, the glass remains just as useful for water, juice, tonic, aperitifs or simple cocktails.
What makes the COCOON shape different?
The collection's name is no coincidence. Its rounded silhouette is inspired by the shape of a cocoon, while the distinctive area in the lower part of the bowl forms what STÖLZLE calls the Power Box.
When used for wine, this geometry provides space for contact with air and helps the aromas develop when the wine is gently swirled.
The generous opening and fine walls contribute to the drinking experience, allowing this model to move naturally between its role as a water glass and a stemless tumbler for white or rosé wine.
The delicate look of a much more exclusive glass
One of the defining characteristics of the COCOON collection is its filigree appearance.
Fine walls, a delicate rim and contemporary proportions create the visual impression of a much more exclusive glass, without turning it into something you are afraid to actually use.
That is one of the reasons COCOON works particularly well at home: it is elegant enough for an important dinner, but not too formal for everyday use.
Is it worth paying more than for an ordinary glass?
If the only requirement is having something to drink water from, there are obviously less expensive options.
COCOON is for someone who notices the difference.
You are paying for lead-free crystal, finer walls and rim, carefully considered proportions and a design that contributes to the appearance of the entire table.
Its versatility also makes the investment easier to justify. This is not a glass that needs to sit unused until a special occasion: it can hold water at lunch, white wine in the evening and cocktails when friends come over.
If you want one premium stemless glass that can perform several roles well, the COCOON 447ml is one of the most versatile choices in the collection.
Why is it sold in multiples of 6?
The price is displayed per piece to make the value of each glass easy to understand and compare. The product itself is sold in multiples of 6 pieces.
For the home, six glasses make practical sense: enough for everyday use, while also giving you a complete matching set when friends or family come for dinner.
Six identical glasses also create a more coherent and elegant table setting than a collection of mismatched pieces.
For restaurants, hotels and other HoReCa businesses, the 6-piece ordering unit also makes stock management and replacement easier.
For the home or for professional use?
Both.
At home, COCOON is for anyone who wants even the water glass to contribute to the appearance of the table and appreciates having one elegant glass suitable for several different drinks.
In professional service, its versatility can reduce the number of different glass types required for certain concepts, while the distinctive design gives restaurants, hotels and wine bars a contemporary table presentation.
It is particularly attractive for settings that prefer a modern, relaxed table rather than an overly formal one.
COCOON Universal or a traditional stemmed wine glass?
The right choice depends on the experience you want.
Choose COCOON Universal 447ml if you want versatility, a modern stemless design and a glass suitable for water as well as white wine, rosé and other drinks.
Choose a stemmed COCOON wine glass when wine is the priority and you want a bowl specifically designed around a particular style of wine.
For a complete table setting, the two do not compete with each other. COCOON Universal can serve as the water glass, while one of the stemmed COCOON models can be selected according to the wine being served.
What should I choose if wine is the priority?
The 447ml COCOON is deliberately versatile. If you want to build a more specialised glassware collection, the COCOON family also includes dedicated shapes.
- COCOON White Wine – when white wine is the priority and you prefer a traditional stemmed glass;
- COCOON Bordeaux – for fuller-bodied and structured red wines;
- COCOON Burgundy – for wines that benefit from a generous bowl and greater aromatic space;
- COCOON Champagne – for sparkling wines and celebratory occasions.
This means you can start with the Universal glass and later build a complete table setting while maintaining the same distinctive COCOON design language.
One important advantage: no stem
Removing the stem changes the character of the glass.
It makes it more relaxed, easy to integrate into a contemporary table setting and comfortable to hold. For water, soft drinks and cocktails, this feels completely natural.
With wine, however, there is a trade-off worth understanding: a stemmed glass can be held without touching the bowl, helping to limit heat transfer from your hand to the wine.
If the traditional wine-tasting ritual is your priority, a stemmed COCOON model is the more specialised choice. If versatility and contemporary presentation matter more, the Universal 447ml has the advantage.
Can it also be used for whisky or cocktails?
Yes. Its stemless tumbler shape and generous capacity make it useful beyond water and wine.
It can be used for whisky over ice, aperitifs, simple cocktails, tonic-based drinks and other serves where a generous stemless glass suits the presentation.
This versatility makes it particularly practical for a Home Bar or for restaurants that prefer glassware capable of serving more than one purpose.
Easy to integrate into an elegant table setting
COCOON does not rely on decorative patterns to attract attention.
Its impact comes from its proportions, the clarity of the crystal and its distinctive silhouette. This allows it to work with minimalist contemporary tableware as easily as with a more traditional setting.
Use it for an ordinary dinner, a festive table, an evening with guests or simply whenever you want water or wine to look a little better on the table.
Care and cleaning
COCOON is made from lead-free crystal and is dishwasher safe.
As with any fine crystal glassware, we recommend placing the glasses carefully in the dishwasher so that they cannot touch each other or other objects during the washing cycle.
To preserve their clear and elegant appearance, avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
