About Wave Stakleno posuđe

Wave je kolekcija staklenog posuđa dizajnirana za pića i deserte. Kolekcija uključuje čašu za viski, visoku čašu za long drink i kupu za sladoled. Svaki komad ima teksturiranu površinu s blagim zakrivljenjima inspiriranim geometrijom oceanskih valova. Ritmične konture dodaju vizualnu dubinu i pružaju ugodan prihvat. Čaše se proizvode od natrij-kalcijevog stakla na automatskom strojnom prešanju. Debljina stijenke valovitih površina optimizirana je za masovnu proizvodnju. Wave na suvremen način reinterpretira klasično rebrasto posuđe za piće.

Production Technology: It is produced from soda lime glass using the automatic press machine. Glass is the most suitable material for both indoor and outdoor use, and it is healthy and environmentally friendly.
Design Challenge: Form of the products drew inspiration from the idea of translating the fluidity, rhythm, and harmony of ocean waves into tangible glass objects. Applying the wave form to products of varying sizes, ensuring continuity, and creating a product collection were challenging. The wall thickness distribution of the wavy surfaces had to be carefully optimized for mass production.
Research: The project aimed to reinterpret classic ribbed drinkware with a contemporary approach, imbuing it with dynamic and innovative qualities. By exploring how geometry of nature can influence both the aesthetic and functional aspects of glassware design, the form of the products was derived from organic forms and repetitive patterns found in nature. The resulting designs challenge traditional perceptions of form and texture while also providing a pleasant grip and offering a new sensory and visual experience.
Inspiration: Wave is inspired by the infinite cycle of ocean waves and the elegant geometry within water itself. Each curve of a wave carries the flawless mathematics of nature and a rhythm that invites a deep sense of serenity.
Project Duration: The project which started in February 2024, was completed in January 2025 and exhibited at the 2025 Ambiente fair.
Operation Flow: Its form creates a three dimensional sense of motion on glass with its dynamic lines inspired by the fluid energy of waves. The rhythmic contours on its surface capture a fleeting moment of the ever shifting form of water.Each line reflects the natural rise and fall of a wave, while its bold structure offers a modern and sculptural aesthetic.
