Olivia Recycled Glass Drinking Glasses in Green Olive (Set of 4)
There’s something weirdly comforting about drinking out of a glass that looks like it could have existed in 1974, yet somehow feels designed for whatever version of the future we’re currently fumbling through.
What It Is:
The Olivia Short Green Olive Glass Set of 4 is handblown in Mexico from 100% recycled glass, which means every sip of water, wine, or poorly mixed gin and tonic comes with a built-in backstory. Each glass features subtle striping, a perfectly imperfect texture, and a rich olive green hue that sits somewhere between “mid-century nostalgia” and “eco-conscious modernism.” And they’re the Goldilocks size—substantial enough for cocktails, casual enough for juice boxes.
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because these aren’t fragile, anxiety-inducing crystal tumblers—they’re durable, weighty, and unapologetically functional. They look just as good on a minimalist dining table as they do shoved into a mismatched kitchen cabinet. And since they’re made from recycled glass, you can at least pretend your nightly Negroni is part of saving the planet.

About the brand: Powered by People
Powered by People is basically what happens when “shopping small” gets a global operating system. Instead of mass-produced sameness, they connect you with makers who are spinning out hand-dyed textiles, hand-thrown ceramics, and jewelry that feels like it was pulled from an alternate reality where craftsmanship never went out of style. The through-line isn’t just aesthetics—it’s the insistence that every object has both utility and a backstory, often rooted in sustainable practices, reclaimed materials, and cultural traditions that would otherwise get bulldozed by the modern marketplace. In short: they’re trying to prove that conscious consumption doesn’t have to look like homework.
