CHELSEA BOY
by MICHAEL YOUNG
In honour of James Irvine RDI, the influential British-born, Milan-based product and furniture designer who left us all too soon, Michael Young designed a gin and tonic glass as a nod to his good friend’s favourite cocktail. The result was Chelsea Boy, a refined and functional tumbler launched at Bar Basso during Milan Design Week 2015, a toast to Irvine’s brilliance in the city he called home.
