The Design
About Flow 화병
플로우(Flow)는 액체 상태 유리의 움직임에서 영감을 받은 유리 화병 컬렉션입니다. 세 가지 형태로 구성되며 블루와 퍼플 두 가지 색상으로 선보입니다. 각 기물은 입으로 불어 손으로 성형한 뒤 서명과 일련번호를 새기므로, 모든 작품이 유리 층 안에 저마다 고유한 색의 무늬를 담고 있습니다. 높이는 90밀리미터에서 250밀리미터까지 다양합니다. 전통적인 핀란드 유리 블로잉 기법을 통해 색이 층과 층 사이를 자유롭게 흐르도록 했습니다. 일상의 실내 공간에 고요함과 빛과 그림자의 유희를 불어넣는 것이 이 작업의 의도입니다.

- Flow vase gains inspiration from the elegance of the movement of liquid glass that is frozen into a stasis that is fragile yet forever.

Its a methaphor for a soul of a piece that makes it more than mere interior object.

- Production Technology
- Flow Collection mixes Scandinavian cool with capricious Finnish glass blowing techniques that allow color flow freely within the glass layers. Collection has three shapes and the design is available in blue and purple. Vessels are mouth blown and shaped by hand, signed and numbered. Made in Mafka&Alakoski Glass Studio, Finland.
- Design Challenge
- The creative challenge of the project is to use color in an abstract way and still create harmoniouss impressions. The glass making process of the collection is mixing multiple traditional glass blowing techniques in a fresh and new way.
- Research
- The Flow Collection experiments with the contrasting nature of the medium. How thick and voluminous glass can look weightless and how the optics of the medium influence the movement of color.
- Inspiration
- Flow Collection brings 3D perspective into abstract brush strokes. The inspiration of the Collection flows from the Scandinavian aesthetics and a sense of beauty. 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 and the rare knowledge behind the craftsmanship.
- Project Duration
- The project was started in January 2021 in Riihimaki, Finland. Exhibited in Hong Kong 2021.
- Operation Flow
- The design philosophy of the collection is to create objects that bring serenity into our everyday life. The moment when a studio made vessel is used is special. When light is gleaming trough the glass, the shadow of the piece comes alive reflecting the inner color play.
