About Wave Dijana tsa Khalase

Wave ke pokello ya dijana tsa khalase e etseditsweng dino le dipompong. Pokello ena e kenyeletsa khalase ya whiskey, khalase ya seno se selelele le kopi ya ice cream. Setho ka seng se na le bokantle bo nang le mokgabiso wa maqhubu a bonolo a susumeditsweng ke sebopeho sa maqhubu a lewatle. Meedi e nang le morethetho e eketsa botebo ba pono mme e fana ka botshwaro bo monate. Dikhalase tsena di hlahiswa ka khalase ya soda lime ka mochine wa boiketsetso wa ho hatella. Botenya ba lebota la bokantle bo nang le maqhubu bo ile ba ntlafatswa bakeng sa tlhahiso e kgolo. Wave e hlalosa botjha dijana tsa dino tsa setso tse nang le mela ka mokgwa wa sejwale-jwale.

Unique Properties: Wave collection embody the geometry of nature and its beauty, with their textured and patterned surface reminiscent of organic forms. The tactile design not only adds a visual appeal but also offers a pleasing grip, making them both practical and sumptuous. Gentle curves mirror the rhythmic flow of the waves, while enriching the interaction between light and depth. The collection includes one whiskey tumbler, one long drink glass, and an ice cream cup.
Dimensions & Packaging: Whiskey glass: H:91mm R:85mm, Long Drink Glass: H:145mm R:72mm, Ice cream cup: H:98mm R:99mm

Production Technology: It is produced from soda lime glass using the automatic press machine. Glass is the most suitable material for both indoor and outdoor use, and it is healthy and environmentally friendly.
Design Challenge: Form of the products drew inspiration from the idea of translating the fluidity, rhythm, and harmony of ocean waves into tangible glass objects. Applying the wave form to products of varying sizes, ensuring continuity, and creating a product collection were challenging. The wall thickness distribution of the wavy surfaces had to be carefully optimized for mass production.
Research: The project aimed to reinterpret classic ribbed drinkware with a contemporary approach, imbuing it with dynamic and innovative qualities. By exploring how geometry of nature can influence both the aesthetic and functional aspects of glassware design, the form of the products was derived from organic forms and repetitive patterns found in nature. The resulting designs challenge traditional perceptions of form and texture while also providing a pleasant grip and offering a new sensory and visual experience.
Inspiration: Wave is inspired by the infinite cycle of ocean waves and the elegant geometry within water itself. Each curve of a wave carries the flawless mathematics of nature and a rhythm that invites a deep sense of serenity.
Project Duration: The project which started in February 2024, was completed in January 2025 and exhibited at the 2025 Ambiente fair.
Operation Flow: Its form creates a three dimensional sense of motion on glass with its dynamic lines inspired by the fluid energy of waves. The rhythmic contours on its surface capture a fleeting moment of the ever shifting form of water.Each line reflects the natural rise and fall of a wave, while its bold structure offers a modern and sculptural aesthetic.
