Kristallglaspyramide
Kristallglaspyramide rises in front of the Zwiesel Kristallglas works in Germany as a clear, geometric glass structure. Light moves across its transparent surfaces, revealing thousands of wine glasses arranged into a precise pyramid.
The construction contains 93,665 Tritan crystal wine glasses from the Neckar series, stacked freely without adhesive in 65 levels. Reaching about eight metres high, it weighs roughly 11.5 tonnes and stands inside a transparent glass casing that protects the delicate form. Zwiesel Kristallglas built it and inaugurated it in 2007 to demonstrate the strength of its special glass and connect the landmark with the region’s glassmaking tradition.
Look through the layers and you can see how each thin glass wall changes the light. The pyramid is wheelchair accessible.
