Salú

Profile picture of Greta Polo

I’m a Spanish-German product and industrial design student at Central Saint Martins, graduating in July 2025.

This project takes a more playful, emotional approach—drawing from my Spanish background and the sobremesa culture that celebrates conversation and connection around the table. In contrast, my German side often guides my approach to more practical, solution-oriented briefs, especially in projects involving efficiency and functionality.

This project allowed me to explore a more sculptural and conceptual side of design, but my core interests lie in consumer electronics. I’m currently open to full-time or freelance opportunities, and I have a portfolio available if you’d like to see more of my work.

Salú takes its name from the Spanish word salud, meaning "cheers" or "health"—a toast to togetherness. In everyday conversation, especially in Spain, the final “d” is often dropped, giving rise to the more colloquial salú. This informal, familiar tone sets the mood for a project that celebrates social connection and shared experiences.

The collection features six double-sided glasses, each pairing a champagne flute on one end with a wine or cocktail glass on the other. Inspired by Mediterranean food culture, Salú encourages communal dining and spontaneous hosting, offering versatility in drinkware while minimising storage space.

Made from borosilicate glass, the pieces are durable, fully recyclable, and designed for longevity. A multifunctional approach reduces material use, while production methods such as glass tube forming and flame-working ensure efficient, low-waste manufacturing. Blending practicality with elegance, Salu reimagines contemporary glassware as a sustainable, space-conscious solution for modern gatherings.

Each piece features a unique pairing—such as a wine glass and a cocktail glass—joined at the stem and designed for flipping between uses. Set against a soft beige background, the transparent forms highlight the collection’s minimalist aesthetic and space-saving functionality, blending practicality with sculptural beauty.
