About Infinity Vessel Bærbar kunstkrone

Infinity Vessel er en glaskrone skabt som bærbar kunst. Hver krone er fremstillet efter mål, så den kun passer til én bærers hoved. En 3D-scanning registrerer hovedets nøjagtige form, og kronen formes derefter af mundblæst glas ved hjælp af traditionelle metoder. Hvert værk bærer sine egne karakteristika. Den gennemsnitlige størrelse er 25 x 25 x 25 cm. Glas blev valgt for sin skrøbelighed og styrke og for den måde, lyset passerer gennem materialet på. Kronen afspejler individualiteten hos den person, der bærer den.

Design Challenge
Glass as a material has long been associated with fragility and strength.

These seemingly conflicting properties are what make glass such a fascinating material and why it has been used in art and design for centuries.

Glass as the primary material is symbolic of both the fragility and strength of the wearer. The delicate and intricate nature of the mouth-blown glass represents the delicate and unique qualities of the individual, while the strength and durability of the material symbolize the resilience and determination of the person. The combination of these seemingly conflicting properties is what makes the Glass Crown such a powerful representation of the individual and their qualities.

The Glass Crown also symbolizes the transparency and clarity of the wearer's intentions and character. Glass allows light to pass through it, representing the openness and honesty of the individual. This makes the Glass Crown a symbol of the wearer's integrity and their commitment to living a life of transparency and authenticity.

Operation Flow

This replica is then used to custom design the Glass Crown, taking into account the contours and dimensions of the head.

The finished crown is then thoroughly tested to ensure that it is comfortable to wear and fits perfectly on the head. The flow of the Glass Crown process is a testament to the combination of traditional techniques and modern technology, resulting in a unique and beautiful piece that celebrates the individuality of the wearer.
