Jackie Fazekas skips early morning meetings, instead opting for midnight martinis. As the founder and owner of Fazeek, a Melbourne, Australia-based homewares brand, Fazekas has been steadily building her company for nearly 10 years. Her glassware has amassed a cult-like following thanks to her signature curvy and candy-hued Wave coupe glasses that seem purpose-built for sunset snaps and late night toasts.
What distinguishes Fazeek is not only the silhouette, but the material. The collection uses borosilicate glass, prized in laboratories and professional kitchens for its resistance to thermal shock and its low expansion under temperature change. In practice, that means elegant profiles that are also notably resilient: glassware that holds its nerve when life (or the bar cart) gets lively.
“We design pieces you invest in, not replace,” Fazekas told us. The range now extends beyond coupes to vases, carafes, and everyday drinkware in Fazeek’s signature palette, with the new Swirl collection adding espresso cups, tumblers, and salad bowls that carry the same sculptural language but make a bolder statement.
Our take: five months of daily use and dinner parties and the pieces have handled real‑life abuse; think tip‑overs, clinks in the sink, the occasional clumsy reach, without chipping or aging. Consider these the rare coupes and espresso cups that are always photo ready but also live in the real world. Cheers.
