The Design

About Orinnoro Tarro de vidrio

Orinnoro es un tarro diseñado para conservar elementos como flores y alimentos. Este objeto de vidrio de gran altura mide 65 cm y se modela a mano en un taller a partir de vidrio de desecho reciclado. Cada tarro se sopla en un molde de madera, y las franjas de color se forman mediante una interpretación moderna de la clásica técnica de soplado de vidrio Incalmo. El ritmo del proceso de fabricación del vidrio confiere a cada pieza una tonalidad cromática única. Se resalta la textura rugosa del material reciclado, y la sombra del vidrio cambia según la luz del entorno. El diseño refleja la serena estética nórdica.
