The Design

About 30s Ang Baso Ng Alak

Ang 30s Wine Glass ni Saara Korppi ay partikular na idinisenyo para sa puting alak, ngunit maaari rin itong magamit para sa iba pang mga inumin. Ginawa ito sa isang mainit na tindahan gamit ang mga lumang pamamaraan ng pamumulaklak ng baso, na nangangahulugang ang bawat piraso ay natatangi. Ang layunin ng Saara ay upang mag-disenyo ng mataas na kalidad na baso na mukhang kawili-wili mula sa lahat ng mga anggulo at, kapag napuno ng likido, pinapayagan ang ilaw na sumasalamin mula sa iba't ibang mga anggulo na nagdaragdag ng labis na kasiyahan sa pag-inom. Ang kanyang inspirasyon para sa 30s Wine Glass ay nagmula sa kanyang nakaraang 30s Cognac Glass na disenyo, ang parehong mga produkto na nagbabahagi ng hugis ng tasa at pagiging mapaglaro.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: This wine glass is free-blown in a hot shop using old venetian glass blowing techniques and it consists of very thin glass. Due to the technique used, every glass piece is unique. The glass is easy to grab and looks interesting from every angle. The cup has two inner-blown arches forming a special flattened shape. The shape of the glass, when filled with liquid, allows light to reflect from different angles, adding a special enjoyment to drinking.
Dimensions & Packaging: Minimum Width 100 mm x Height 220 mm

Production Technology: Used material is glass. This is free-blown in a hot-shop in the glass studio.
Design Challenge: Designing glass that looks interesting at 360 degrees combined with venetian glass blowing skills is truly challenging. Further, it is demanding to create a glass that when filled with liquid will emphasize the shape of the glass and reflect light beautifully. These wine glasses require a high level of glass blowing skills. At the beginning, the most difficult part in terms of technique was to make well-proportioned glasses with the right timing and in collaboration with an assistant. Finally, I found the right way to produce them.
Research: I made these wine glasses with passion, using old venetian glass blowing techniques. The goal of my research has been to improve the taste of the drink by improving the functionality, shape and reflection of the glass containing the liquid. It took a long time to find the right working method. By mastering the glass blowing techniques and processes I have managed to create the 30s glass series and to continue it by this new item.
Inspiration: My goal is to design and make high quality handmade glassware that looks interesting from all angles and creates new experiences for the user. My inspiration comes from the Finnish nature, especially from the element of water. I am inspired by water in all its forms - liquid, steam and ice. Both water and glass reflect light and shapes in interesting ways. The base design reflects the interplay of water and glass. The inspiration comes from my previous 30s Cognac Glass design. This item belongs to the same glass series as it shares the same inspiration and shape of the cup.
Project Duration: The project started in 2017 in Osterbybruk, Sweden. The production has continued in Helsinki until today. The first products were exhibited in Ikkunagalleria Hytti in June 2017 in Helsinki. Besides that, they have been exhibited in the Venice Glass Week 2019, in Helsinki in 2019 and in the Finnish Glass Museum in 2020.
Operation Flow: This object is particularly meant for drinking white wine, but it can also be used for drinking water or other beverages. The recommended maximum liquid level lies just above the inner arch, bringing out the best drinking experience. The curves offer another perfect place to grab the glass and sniffing the scent of the drink while observing the reflections of the liquid from all angles. The glass can be washed in the dishwasher.
