About River Vas
Flumen est vas vitreum ore sufflatum, quod a flumine caeruleo in Suonenjoki, in Finnia, inspirationem cepit. Vas viginti duo centimetra altum est et simplicem formam ovalem habet. Quaeque pars in officina Finnica manu formata est, ita ut fluxus coloris intra strata vitri singularis sit. Color per superficiem movetur instar aquae fluentis. Parvae bullae sodae in basi cum luce commercium habent. Omne vas manu signatum est. Consilium formam Scandinavicam tranquillam cum arte Finnica vitrum sufflandi coniungit, ut obiectum cotidianum, aeternum ac durabile creetur.

- Design Challenge
- The challenge of the design is to create movement of river in a way that it flows beautifully with the simplified oval shape. Every vessel of the collection is unique. Therefore all the pieces created must have the same soul, but the unique charisma.
- Research
- The River vase aims to capture the essence of flowing water with the means of mouth blown glass. The impression is desired to be flowing, free yet harmonious. The contrasts in nature are the main research viewpoint of the collection.
- 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.
