The Design

About Orinnoro Bocal en verre

Orinnoro est un bocal conçu pour la conservation d'éléments tels que des fleurs et des aliments. Cet objet en verre de grande hauteur mesure 65 cm et est façonné à la main en atelier à partir de déchets de verre recyclé. Chaque bocal est soufflé dans un moule en bois, et les rayures colorées sont créées grâce à une interprétation contemporaine de la technique classique de soufflage de verre Incalmo. Le rythme du processus de fabrication du verre confère à chaque pièce une nuance de couleur unique. La texture brute du matériau recyclé est mise en valeur, et l'ombre du verre se transforme au gré de la lumière environnante. Le design reflète l'esthétique sereine du Nord.
