The Design

About Orinnoro Glasskrukke

Orinnoro er en krukke designet for oppbevaring av gjenstander som blomster og mat. Det høye glassobjektet er 65 cm høyt og er håndformet i et studio av resirkulert avfallsglass. Hver krukke blåses i en treform, og fargestripene formes med en moderne tolkning av den klassiske Incalmo-glassblåsingsteknikken. Rytmen i glassblåsingsprosessen gir hvert stykke en unik fargetone. Den ru teksturen til det resirkulerte materialet fremheves, og skyggen av glasset skifter med det omgivende lyset. Designet reflekterer en rolig, nordisk estetikk.
