About Purnu Crogan Stòrais

Is crogan gloine e Purnu a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson biadh, flùraichean agus rudan beaga eile a stòradh. Tha Purnu air a chumadh le làimh à gloine a chaidh a shèideadh leis a' bheul ann an stiùidio ann an Helsinki, an Fhionnlainn. Tha an crogan 20 cm a dh'àirde agus tha cumadh sìmplichte aige le dathan aighearach a tha a' nochdadh ailtireachd Thuathach. Faodaidh an crogan biadh no flùraichean a chumail, agus faodar cuideachd a thaisbeanadh falamh mar nì taobh a-staigh. Bidh fosgladh a' chrogain àrd agus a bhith a' cur rudan a-steach ann a' toirt ùine agus fois. Tha an dealbhadh cuideachd a' toirt taic do ghlèidheadh ciùird traidiseanta gloine-dhèanamh.

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.
Inspiration: Purnu collection is inspired by marshmallows and pop culture. The design philosophy of the object is to reflect the Northern aesthetics with playful colors and simplified shape. The concept of the design is to flirt poetic glass medium.
Project Duration: Project started in spring 2022 in Helsinki, Finland.
Operation Flow: Purnu is designed to create harmonious moments into everyday life. When the tall jar is opened, it takes time and calmness to place items, such as flowers or food inside it to be preserved. These moments of serenity are rare and valuable in a hectic World.
