About Purnu Balang Simpanan
Purnu ialah balang kaca yang direka untuk menyimpan makanan, bunga dan barangan kecil yang lain. Purnu dibentuk dengan tangan daripada kaca tiupan mulut di sebuah studio di Helsinki, Finland. Balang ini setinggi 20 cm dan mempunyai bentuk yang ringkas dengan warna-warna ceria yang mencerminkan estetika Utara. Balang ini boleh memuatkan makanan atau bunga, dan juga boleh dipamerkan dalam keadaan kosong sebagai objek hiasan dalaman.

- 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

- Operation Flow
