Sini Majuri · CLIENT: Infinity Vessel
Infinity Vessel is a glass crown created as wearable art. Each crown is made to measure, so it fits only the head of one wearer. A 3D scan records the exact shape of the head, and the crown is then formed from mouth-blown glass using traditional methods. Every piece carries its own characteristics. The average size is 25 x 25 x 25 cm. Glass was chosen for its fragility and its strength, and for the way light passes through the material. The crown reflects the individuality of the person who wears it.
