About Etern 디캔터

에테른(Etern)은 식탁에서의 와인 서비스를 위해 디자인된 유리 디캔터입니다. 에테른의 형태는 시간의 단면에서 영감을 얻었으며, 곡선을 이루는 윤곽은 각각의 순간을 그 자체로 하나의 영원한 조각으로 드러냅니다. 유리는 투명한 성질 때문에 사용되었으며, 이를 통해 와인의 색과 디캔팅 과정에서 나타나는 기물의 가벼운 인상을 보여줍니다. 와인을 따를 때 공기가 액체를 통과하며 와인을 에어레이션합니다. 에테른은 유리 불기(글라스 블로잉) 기법으로 성형되었으며, 이 디자인에 맞추어 별도의 제작 공정이 개발되었습니다. 이 작품은 식탁 위의 고요한 선언으로 의도되었습니다.

Production Technology
Etern is glassware for wine decanting. Glass material for its transparent properties in showing the beauty of wine and the airiness of form while decanting.
Design Challenge
Challenge with Etern is the philosophical and harmonious representations of time intersecting with glass blowing. A custom barrier and crust is created to match the design.
Research
On a macro perspective, the greatest moments of the planet and life's work, reside on one particle in the universe. Every moment is solidified in the cross-sections of time. Through harmonious elegance, Etern celebrates moments in time as eternity and gracefully performs the arts of decanting. Scholarly inspirations from philosophy, astronomy, and literature on impermanence have been researched for Etern. A graceful and celebrating combination of decanting.
Inspiration
Each flower that grows and withered away, is eternal in its own fragment of time. The Etern decanter is inspired by the fragment of time. It celebrates moments as an eternal fragment in life, inspiring people to feast and cherish moments of remembrance. The elegant contour of Etern is a statement piece that represents the cross-section of time and viewing each special moment as its own eternity. One eternal moment is forever.
Project Duration
Project duration from May 2021 to Nov 2021, in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Operation Flow
As wine is poured into Etern, a delightful chorus of air breathing into wine sings a beautiful melody. Etern is about having a drink with the uncapturable time, but feasting on each special moment as its own eternity in time.
