   You remember these glasses from your last trip to #France, I guess. Here’s the interesting story: Duralex, the manufacturer, was heading for liquidation. Investors that wanted to buy it existed, but they wanted to fire a lot of employees. So the court agreed to a different solution: create a cooperative, make Duralex workers owned. Now give them a hand and buy their glasses instead of the typical IKEA stuff, ok? :) https://eu.duralex.com/en-eu/collections/all-our-products

     Weirdly, any Brit of a certain age will know duralex Gigogne pattern tumblers from their ubiquity in public sector catering (NHS, universities etc) as well as any trips to mainland yurop.

     @jwildeboer Famous brand here in France. We all have drink on these glasses at school.

     Duralex glasses are ugly, but last basically forever.
