About Pikku 花瓶

Pikku 是一款以回收废弃玻璃制成的小型花瓶。每一件器皿均由匠人口吹成型、手工塑造,并附有签名与编号。玻璃制作过程中的节奏韵律,在层层玻璃之间造就出独一无二的色彩泼溅效果。该系列的灵感源自肥皂泡,以及抽象绘画中笔触流动的意韵。每只花瓶高100毫米,提供粉色、蓝色与紫色三种色调。当光线穿透玻璃时,器皿投下的影子映射出其内部的色彩交融。Pikku 将可持续理念与斯堪的纳维亚设计哲学融为一体。

Production Technology: Pikku Collection mixes cool North with capricious Finnish glass blowing techniques that allow color flow freely within the glass layers. Glass collection is available in pink, blue and purple. Vessels are mouth blown and shaped by hand, signed and numbered.
Design Challenge: The creative challenge of the glass vase project is to use color in an abstract way and still create harmoniouss impressions. The scale of the object is small, therefore finding the balance between movement and shape is challenging. The glass making process of the collection is mixing traditional glass blowing techniques in a fresh and new way.
Research: The Pikku Collection experiments with the contrasting nature of the glass medium. How voluminous glass can look weightless and how the optics of the glass influence the movement of color. The collection aims to reflect recycled glass as a material of a high quality.
Inspiration: The recycled glass collection of small vases is inspired by soap bubbles and romantic movies. The philosophy of the vase is that the small details in our life are precious. In the hectic world it is important to pay attention to a single flower.
Project Duration: The project started in 2022 and was first exhibited in the Museum of Fine Arts Eemil, Lapinlahti, Finland.
Operation Flow: The design philosophy of the Pikku collection is to create small everyday objects that bring joy and serenity into our everyday life. The moment when a studio made vessel with bright colors is used is special. When light is gleaming trough the glass, the shadow of the piece comes alive reflecting the inner color play.
