About Noiseless 花器

《Noiseless》是一件手工拉坯成型的瓷质花器，专为长枝或大型植物而设计。器形以极简的线条塑造，在光影之间取得平衡。表面为素瓷，触感柔和细腻，仅在内壁施以透明釉。尺寸从60×60×110毫米至100×100×240毫米不等。每件作品皆具相当重量，因此长茎花材也能稳固立于其中。数件并置时，花器如同列柱般矗立，形成静谧的单色群组，可自由组合摆放。

Tags: minimal, simple, aesthetic, vase, porcelain, hand thrown
Production Technology: Hand thrown, porcelain, transparent glaze (only inside)
Design Challenge: The challenge consisted of the difference between the first picture and reality.
The first picture to the blue print.
Research: A study of simple, beautiful shapes, exploring the balance between light and shade. The aim was to pursue essential beauty without being distracted by decoration or color. An analog approach served as the source. Light of slightly different colors shines on both sides to accentuate the shadows and contours. Simple and beautiful shapes were formed by carving each of the wheel-thrown porcelain vases by hand. As a result, instead of accentuating the design with decorations and colors, a unique form was found. The characteristics of software do not influence it. It is as pure as it can get.
Inspiration: Being interested in how the form of an object is expressed by light and shadow the goal was to design a vase with a minimum of lines, carving out a balance between light and shade. The vases are arranged like columns. By leaving the flowers out of the vase, the path of creation for a monochrome silence was pursued. This creates freedom. Freedom in the arrangement of the vases and in the imagination in relation to the arrangement of the flowers.
Project Duration: The project startet in February 2018 in Berlin
Operation Flow: The light and shadows soften the look of this vase and make it suitable for any place. It can also be set to engage with flowers. Made like a weight, this vase, especially with long-stemmed flowers, makes a big difference and gives the impression of deviating from the norm. What you have there is an experience that you can share with others.
