The Design
About River 花瓶
「River」は、フィンランドのスオネンヨキにある青い川から着想を得た、口吹きガラスの花瓶です。高さ22センチメートル、シンプルな楕円形のフォルムを持ちます。一点一点がフィンランドのスタジオで手作業により成形されるため、ガラスの層の中を流れる色彩の表情はすべて異なります。色は流れる水のように表面を移ろい、底部に散る細かなソーダの気泡が光と響き合います。すべての花瓶には手書きのサインが記されています。静謐なスカンジナビアのフォルムとフィンランドのガラス吹き技術を融合させ、時を超えて愛される耐久性のある日常の道具を生み出しています。

- Inspiration
- River vase is inspired by a blue river located in Suonenjoki Finland. The collection plays with the elegance of the movement of liquid glass that is frozen into a stasis that is fragile yet forever. The rhythm of the glass making process ensures that every vessel has unique splashes of color that mimic the dance of flowing rivee water. Every vase has their own breath. Its a methaphor for a soul of a piece that makes it more than mere interior object.
- Project Duration
- River vase is designed in 2021 for the city of Suonenjoki
- Operation Flow
- Studio made vessels are expertly handcrafted in Finland. Each mouth blown object has unique watery texture and is signed by hand. There are soda bubbles on the bottom that react with light. The design philosophy behind the series is to create elegant, timeless and durable everyday objects. The vases gain their value from their high quality and design.
