About Purnu Officium Conditorium
Purnu est vas vitreum ad cibum, flores et res parvas alias condendas destinatum. Purnu manu formatur ex vitro ore inflato in officina Helsinkiae, in Finnia. Vas 20 cm altum est formamque simplicem habet coloribus lascivis qui pulchritudinem Septentrionalem reflectunt. Vas cibum vel flores capere potest, et etiam vacuum exhiberi potest tamquam res interior. Vas altum aperire et res intus ponere tempus et tranquillitatem postulat. Hoc quoque consilium ad artem vitrariam traditam conservandam confert.

- Design Challenge
- The challenge in the process is to find the perfect flow for the colors, so that the appearance is remains fresh. 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, 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. The starting point of the design process is to use studio made glass as the medium of the design, because the endangered tradition of glass making is being applied to the Unesco’s World heritage lit. Using glass as a medium the designer takes action in preserving the ancient craftsmanship.
- Inspiration
- Purnu collection is inspired by marshmallows and pop culture. The design philosophy of the object is to reflect the Northern aesthetics with playful colors and simplified shape. The concept of the design is to flirt poetic glass medium.
- Project Duration
- Project started in spring 2022 in Helsinki, Finland.
- Operation Flow
- Purnu is designed to create harmonious moments into everyday life. When the tall jar is opened, it takes time and calmness to place items, such as flowers or food inside it to be preserved. These moments of serenity are rare and valuable in a hectic World.
