The Design

About Noiseless Gerro de Flors

Noiseless és un gerro de flors de porcellana modelat a mà, dissenyat per a plantes llargues o de grans dimensions. La forma es dibuixa amb un mínim de línies per equilibrar la llum i l'ombra. La superfície és de porcellana nua, amb una textura suau i llisa, i s'aplica un vidrat transparent només a l'interior. Les mides van des de 60 per 60 per 110 mil·límetres fins a 100 per 100 per 240 mil·límetres. Cada peça és pesada, de manera que les flors de tija llarga es mantenen estables. Col·locats junts, els gerros s'alcen com columnes i creen un grup monocromàtic silenciós que es pot disposar lliurement.

Unique Properties: Hand thrown heavy weight porcelain vase for long or big plants. Minimal design & design language. Inspiration comes from sunlight and the shadows cast from it. The surface is pure naked porcelain finish with baby skin texture.
Dimensions & Packaging: Between W100mm D100mm H240mm - W60mm D60mm H110mm
Tags: minimal, simple, aesthetic, vase, porcelain, hand thrown
Production Technology: Hand thrown, porcelain, transparent glaze (only inside)
Design Challenge: The challenge consisted of the difference between the first picture and reality.
The first picture to the blue print.
Research: A study of simple, beautiful shapes, exploring the balance between light and shade. The aim was to pursue essential beauty without being distracted by decoration or color. An analog approach served as the source. Light of slightly different colors shines on both sides to accentuate the shadows and contours. Simple and beautiful shapes were formed by carving each of the wheel-thrown porcelain vases by hand. As a result, instead of accentuating the design with decorations and colors, a unique form was found. The characteristics of software do not influence it. It is as pure as it can get.
Inspiration: Being interested in how the form of an object is expressed by light and shadow the goal was to design a vase with a minimum of lines, carving out a balance between light and shade. The vases are arranged like columns. By leaving the flowers out of the vase, the path of creation for a monochrome silence was pursued. This creates freedom. Freedom in the arrangement of the vases and in the imagination in relation to the arrangement of the flowers.
Project Duration: The project startet in February 2018 in Berlin
Operation Flow: The light and shadows soften the look of this vase and make it suitable for any place. It can also be set to engage with flowers. Made like a weight, this vase, especially with long-stemmed flowers, makes a big difference and gives the impression of deviating from the norm. What you have there is an experience that you can share with others.
