Duralex Gigone 6 Cups

Launched in 1946, the Gigogne tumbler was the first tableware item sold by Duralex. In just a few decades, it seamlessly passed from school canteens to the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, which paid it a fitting tribute in the “Éditer Design” exhibition in 2007. Gigogne is made in tempered glass which is 2,5 times stronger than normal glass and virtually unbreakable. If Duralex tempered glass does break, it bursts into a multitude of blunt fragments, without risk of injury. The resistant construction of the glass makes these versatile tumblers perfect for everyday use in restaurants, bars or at home.

What is tempered glass?
Tempered glass technology is a specific treatment, which consists of a sudden cooling of the material previously heated to a temperature of about 700°C. This improves the physical qualities of glass products, making them thermal shock resistant and 2,5 times stronger than normal glass products. Although virtually unbreakable, if Duralex tempered glass does break, it bursts into a multitude of blunt fragments, without risk of injury.
Since 1945, Duralex has pioneered tempered glass technology, for which it is still renowned today. Manufactured in hygienic non-porous glass, Duralex glass products are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe. From raw material to packaging, everything is 100 % produced and made in France. Today more than ever, Duralex embodies safe and affordable everyday glassware.
