The origin
The idea began at a dinner table set for guests. The plates, linens, flatware, and food belonged to one considered moment. The glass did not. That disconnect became the starting point.
Our story
A chef's vision for the entire table.
Persephaure began with a simple tension: every detail of a dinner could feel considered, yet the wine glass often felt like an afterthought. We set out to create glassware worthy of the whole evening.
The point of view
Designed from the host's side of the table.
Persephaure was created by Culinary Institute of America-trained chef Robbie Rensel. The design lens is culinary: how aroma gathers, how the first sip arrives, how a silhouette sits beside the plate, and how the glass feels after the room fills with conversation.
The collection
The Luxe Series brings ten wine-style-specific silhouettes into one visual family. Each is hand-blown in lead-free crystal and balanced for real entertaining.
The name
Persephaure joins Persephone with aurum, Latin for gold: darkness into light, refinement into form, and beauty with a purpose beyond ornament.
The people behind Persephaure
A personal company by design.
