About SKLO

SKLO [ pronounced asˈS-Klo ] means “glass” in the Czech language, which aptly introduces the initial beginnings of the company, based in Singapore.
SKLO is a lifestyle brand that aims to promote good design appreciation through the global brands we represent. SKLO is focused in the study of form and function of well designed dinnerware and drinkware which can enhance your culinary experience. The aspect of beauty and creativity in the products can bring about meaningful conversations which we hold dearly to. SKLO started in 2022 as a regional distributor and brand ambassador of Kvetna 1794, the 230 year old Glassworks set in the Czech Republic.
SKLO EVOLUTION

Designed in collaboration with the Sommelier Association of Singapore (SAS), SKLO presents the EVOLUTION Series.

SAS represents the  best in the wine trade professionals with 212 top sommeliers based in Singapore. SAS provided extensive research to design the ultimate stemmed glass you would need for the enjoyment of every wine at its best. EVOLUTION’s tulip shaped bowl and thin rimmed silhouette focuses on how the wine structure, wine aromatics and clarity of flavours is best presented everytime you drink your favourite wines. EVOLUTION is meticulously hand made by the same glass artisans from Kvetna 1794 to provide the same quality and precision you would expect from the 230 year legacy of the Bohemian glassmaking tradition.

THE PROCESS

SKLO and SAS wanted a glass which can showcase wines at their optimal best. Using a structured approach, we built a
methodology which focused on both the glass aesthetics as well as its technical performance, namely:

  • Glassware Aesthetics: Design of the glass, including base stability, bowl size, rim thickness, weight distribution
  • Wine Structure (Balance): How the glass design brings balance between acid, tannins, sweetness and texture of the range of wines
  • Wine Aromatics Nose (Intensity): Study of the impact aromas being displayed in the glass, such as Thiols, Esters, Terpenes and Oak Lactones
  • Wine Flavours (Clarity): Deep dive into the precision of sub-aromas within the impact aromas, for example rose oxide (Gewürztraminer), and linalool (Muscat) within the Terpenes family.

The team worked with the glass artisans from Kvetna 1794 throughout the glass mould fabrication process to produce multiple sample pieces. These pieces were sent several times over the course of 30 weeks to allow SAS members to test and give feedback on the glassware.

SKLO and SAS are extremely proud to present the SKLO EVOLUTION series which we can proudly state, is 100% Designed in Singapore.
