About Purnu Pot d'Emmagatzematge

Purnu és un pot de vidre dissenyat per emmagatzemar aliments, flors i altres petits objectes. Purnu es modela a mà a partir de vidre bufat amb la boca en un estudi d'Hèlsinki, Finlàndia. El pot fa 20 cm d'alçada i té una forma simplificada amb colors joguinosos que reflecteixen l'estètica nòrdica. El pot pot contenir aliments o flors, i també es pot exposar buit com a objecte decoratiu. Obrir el pot alt i col·locar-hi objectes a dins requereix temps i calma. El disseny també contribueix a la preservació de l'artesania tradicional de la fabricació de vidre.

Design Challenge: The challenge in the process is to find the perfect flow for the colors, so that the appearance is remains fresh. A simplified shape can become multi-dimensional in glass medium. There is the visual layer of glass, how does the glass reflect, how will the colors look in different light. Above all there are also the historical layers of glass, the origin of Finnish glass making and the rare knowledge behind the craftsmanship.
Research: Preserving is the main idea of the object. Preserving the craftmanship, medium and the preserving as the function. The starting point of the design process is to use studio made glass as the medium of the design, because the endangered tradition of glass making is being applied to the Unesco’s World heritage lit. Using glass as a medium the designer takes action in preserving the ancient craftsmanship.
