About Purnu Recipiente de Almacenaxe

Purnu é un tarro de vidro deseñado para gardar alimentos, flores e outros obxectos pequenos. Purnu é modelado a man a partir de vidro soprado a boca nun estudio en Helsinqui, Finlandia. O tarro mide 20 cm de alto e presenta unha forma simplificada con cores lúdicas que reflicten a estética nórdica. O tarro pode conter alimentos ou flores, e tamén se pode exhibir baleiro como obxecto decorativo de interior. Abrir o tarro alto e colocar obxectos no seu interior require tempo e calma. O deseño tamén contribúe á preservación do oficio tradicional da fabricación de vidro.

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.
