About

Sempli's Story

Sempli is an award winning product design company located in Los Angeles, California whose designs take you for a spin. Sempli’s design philosophy is deeply rooted in the founder Daniele ‘Danne’ Semeraro’s dual heritage by combining the best of two countries - Sweden’s simple functionality with Italy’s style and elegance.

Sempli. Swedish functionality - Italian design

While living in Florence, Italy, Semeraro discovered the essential role the wine glass played in the drinking experience. He then conceived the idea for the stemless Cupa-glass series, spawning the growing collection of Sempli products.

Staying true to the craft, the glasses are hand produced by the most skilled glass blowers. The swirling rotation of the glass is both entertaining and practical. First introduced in the market in 2002, the Cupa series is known as the original swirling glass- “the spinning original since 2002”.

The Sempli glass series is produced from the purest lead-free crystal, making it a 100% safe and sustainable experience. Since the Cupa series, Sempli has expanded to include the Monti-collection, Sempli’s first flat-bottomed glasses!
