More About Infinity Vessel Crown
Infinity Vessel is a glass crown created as wearable art. Each crown is made to measure, so it fits only the head of one wearer. A 3D scan records the exact shape of the head, and the crown is then formed from mouth-blown glass using traditional methods. Every piece carries its own characteristics. The average size is 25 x 25 x 25 cm. Glass was chosen for its fragility and its strength, and for the way light passes through the material. The crown reflects the individuality of the person who wears it.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- A glass crown embodies the value and uniqueness of an individual. Each piece fits only its wearer, because the human head is always uniquely shaped. The crown boldly mixes Haute couture fashion and glass, which are foreign to others. The personalized piece of jewelry also has a deep philosophical background. Power structures are transparent and can be broken. The crown takes a stand on how sensitive and strong a person is at the same time.
- Inspiration
- The Glass Crown is made from mouth-blown glass, each crown is inspired by the individuality of its wearer. The use of this traditional method of glass-blowing ensures that each crown is one of a kind, with its own unique characteristics and nuances. The crown is designed to fit only the head of its wearer, further emphasizing the idea of individuality and the unique Glass as a material in the Glass Crown is a powerful symbol of the individual's fragility and strength, transparency and honesty, and resilience and determination.
- Research
- The Glass Crown is designed to fit only the head of its wearer and is a representation of individuality and uniqueness. The symbolism of the crown has been a subject of interest for centuries, with the crown often representing power, authority, and prestige.
- Challenge
- Glass as a material has long been associated with fragility and strength. It is a medium that can be fragile and delicate, yet at the same time, it is able to withstand intense pressure and is incredibly strong. 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.
- Realization and Technology
- The project is a combination of traditional glass-blowing techniques with modern technology. The crown is made-to-measure, ensuring that it fits perfectly on the head of its wearer. This is achieved by using 3D-scanning technology to create an exact digital replica of the wearer's head. The Glass Crown celebrates the beauty and individuality of the person who wears it.
- Operation and Interaction
- The operation and flow of the Glass Crown is a blend of traditional techniques and modern technology. The process starts with the creation of a 3D scan of the wearer's head, which is used to create an exact digital replica of the individual's unique head shape. 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.
