About River Vas

Rivièra es un vas de veire bufat a la boca inspirat per una rivièra blava de Suonenjoki, en Finlàndia. Lo recipient fa 22 centimètres d'auçada e a una forma ovala simpla. Cada pèça es fabricada en talhièr e formada a la man en Finlàndia, atal lo flux de color dins las capas de veire es unic. La color se desplaça sus la superfícia coma d'aiga que corre. De pichonas bombolhas de sòda a la basa reagisson amb la lutz. Cada vas es signat a la man. Aquesta concepcion aliá una forma escandinava serena amb la bufada de veire finlandesa per crear un objècte quotidian atemporal e durable.

Tags: vase, finland, suonenjoki, vessel
Production Technology: Studio made, hand shaped glass
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.
