The geometric shapes of the architecture and interiors create dramatic shadows cast by the yellow light. There is no natural sunlight in the building so Wallace has created his own (show off!). This is a wonderful opportunity to own an iconic piece of original Blade Runner memorabilia. The glass will also appeal to whisky drinkers everywhere, particularly those with an interest in stylish design and traditional craftsmanship. These same glasses also make a star appearance in Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities – The Viewing episode. Interestingly Chris Baker said in an interview on Medium“If I designed Rogue City now I would have been a little bit more subtle. I would have stopped it from being overly feminine as well because it’s one sided, It’s very female oriented. I would have intertwined it so you were not quite sure what’s male and what’s female. I have always thought of it as being the sexual equivalent of Las Vegas”. Gassner created what he refers to as a “pattern language” – a core vision which informed the production design, the sets and the choice of many of the objects and artefacts throughout the movie. This began with the redesign of the iconic flying police car – K’s Spinner, which is particularly angular and robust.

Cibi collection is distinguished by the typical X-shaped choker of the glass, which not only gives movement but also allows for an easy and firm grip. This is a wonderful opportunity to own an iconic piece of original Blade Runner memorabilia. The glassware will also appeal to whisky drinkers everywhere, particularly those with an interest in stylish design and traditional craftsmanship. The glass is what you'd often see for a margarita which is usually made with Tequila but can also be made with Mezcal to make a Mezcal Margarita, all of which were becoming very popular again in the eighties. The Blade Runner Wiki t ells us “ Dr. Ana Stelline is a subcontractor under the Wallace Corporation working as a memory designer at an ‘upgrade center’ named ‘Stelline Laboratories’. Although enamored with her work, Stelline is confined within an isolated dome, only visible through a visitor window; due to a ‘compromised immune system’, meaning that if she were to leave, she would die and the sole reason she is not off-world. Her parents had put her there, but gave her enough to make her happy”. The Memory Orb in Blade Runner 2049In 2049 we find little evidence of the kind of high-tech gadgetry and interactive, holographic computer screens that we have become used to in sci-fi films. Instead we find what Set Decorator Querzola described to me as a “sidebar” view of the future. Villeneuve and the production team wanted to create a future which extended the vision of the first movie and they found a grounding in this vision by imagining how the year 2049 might look if Steve Jobs and Apple hadn’t existed. We tell you this in the spirit of openness and please rest assured that all our recommendations are vetted and genuine. The CIBI Single Old Fashioned Whisky Glass is a scaled down version of the larger glass that features in the movie. very well done. as a massive nerdy fan of the original, and of it’s excellent sequel, i enjoyed the piece. i do have the cibi whiisky glasses, and also the ltd. ed. bladerunner 2049 whisky bottle in my collection. i just love that, 35 years after the fact, people are still referencing the film. that’s what makes it a classic, a cult fave, and an icon of dystopian film. you’ve done a man’s job, sir.

This is Luv (Sylvia Hoeks). She works for the head of the Wallace Corporation, Niander Wallace and she is ruthless. She is his soldier, his warrior. Wallace played by Jared Leto (interestingly, David Bowie had been earmarked for the role) is the zen-like inventor who has taken over and well-surpassed the technology developed by Tyrell in the creation of replicants. Now he is the most powerful man on the planet. Born in Milan and graduated from the Polytechnic in 1951, Cini Boeri was immediately noticed by her design teacher Giò Ponti, who encouraged her to paint. It’s nice to have the affirmation that the wall tiles in the original and 2049 were intentionally similar. The Ennis house was too good to entirely leave behind. One of the things I appreciated about the film was the many subtle visual recollections of the 1982 film. She realised both in Italy and abroad private flats and buildings for public use as well as museum installations; her trademark is the great attention devoted to the study of the functionality of space and the psychological relationships between man and the environment. Several of her creations can be found in museums and international exhibitions. Like this article? Get the Robb Report newsletter for similar stories delivered straight to your inbox.

Each tumbler is mouth-blown and hand-cut by expert Tuscan craftsmen to the original specifications and using the original moulds created in 1973. I was delighted to give a talk at a recent screening of Blade Runner 2049 hosted at the stunning The Conran Shop showroom in London’s Fulham Road in collaboration with Sony. I took this opportunity to dissect and discuss my favourite artefacts in the film. Here I share my opinions on the hidden narrative behind these objects, supplemented by fascinating facts gleaned from conversations with the movie’s Set Decorator Alessandra Querzola SDSA and Concept Artist Mike Hill. Given the technological, political and environmental news that has hit us over the last few months, the choice and design of many of these objects predict the future with more insight than one might realise.
