About Flow 花瓶

Flow 是一系列以流动的液态玻璃为灵感的玻璃花瓶。该系列包含三种造型，提供蓝色与紫色两种色彩。每件器皿均由手工吹制、手工塑形，并经签名与编号，因此每一件作品都在玻璃层次之间呈现出独一无二的色彩纹理。高度从90毫米至250毫米不等。传统的芬兰玻璃吹制工艺使色彩得以在层与层之间自由流动。其创作意图是将宁静之感以及光影的律动带入日常的室内空间。

Unique Properties: Flow vase gains inspiration from 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 brush strokes of abstract impression. Every vase has their own breath. Its a methaphor for a soul of a piece that makes it more than mere interior object.
Dimensions & Packaging: Studio made glass. Wide: 200 mm tall. Tall: 250 mm tall. Small 90 mm tall.

Production Technology: Flow Collection mixes Scandinavian cool with capricious Finnish glass blowing techniques that allow color flow freely within the glass layers. Collection has three shapes and the design is available in blue and purple. Vessels are mouth blown and shaped by hand, signed and numbered. Made in Mafka&Alakoski Glass Studio, Finland.
Design Challenge: The creative challenge of the project is to use color in an abstract way and still create harmoniouss impressions. The glass making process of the collection is mixing multiple traditional glass blowing techniques in a fresh and new way.
Research: The Flow Collection experiments with the contrasting nature of the medium. How thick and voluminous glass can look weightless and how the optics of the medium influence the movement of color.
Inspiration: Flow Collection brings 3D perspective into abstract brush strokes. The inspiration of the Collection flows from the Scandinavian aesthetics and a sense of beauty. A simplified shape can become multi-dimensional in glass medium; There is the visual layer of glass: how does the glass reflect, how will the colors look in different light. Above all there are also the historical layers of glass and the rare knowledge behind the craftsmanship.
Project Duration: The project was started in January 2021 in Riihimaki, Finland. Exhibited in Hong Kong 2021.
Operation Flow: The design philosophy of the collection is to create objects that bring serenity into our everyday life. The moment when a studio made vessel is used is special. When light is gleaming trough the glass, the shadow of the piece comes alive reflecting the inner color play.
