All eyes are on Britain this year, thanks to The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and then the success of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. British brands are currently riding the crest of an unparalleled wave of popularity. So what better time for one of Britain’s coolest car manufacturers and London’s finest silversmiths to come together to launch ‘Silver by Aston Martin’?
Officially voted UK’s coolest brand for the fifth time in six years in 2011 by the Cool Brands Council, Aston Martin actively sought out Grant Macdonald to design this superb collection. The result is a stunning, contemporary collection inspired by the power, beauty and soul of the famous car manufacturer. Grant Macdonald has managed to retain the integrity of the Aston Martin brand whilst pushing the boundaries of contemporary design.
Each item within the ‘Silver by Aston Martin’ Collection is inspired by the elegance, craftsmanship and engineering excellence that has been built into every Aston Martin since 1913. A simple yet enduring design ethos that influences every piece in the range.
In a perfect blend of elegant design and innovative manufacturing techniques, Grant Macdonald has created a stunning set of 12 sterling silver flutes. Each one is lined with 24-carat gold, while the stem is patterned with an intricate crosshatching detail to echo carbon fibre, inspired by the One-77 chassis. Displayed in a hand finished ebonised wood and suede case, this fabulous set celebrates the exceptional style of the One-77.
