About Purnu 储物罐

Purnu 是一款用于存放食物、花卉及其他小物件的玻璃罐。Purnu 由芬兰赫尔辛基的工作室以口吹玻璃工艺手工塑形而成。罐身高 20 厘米，造型简约洗练，搭配活泼的色彩，映射出北欧美学的气质。它既可盛放食物或插花，也可空置陈列，作为室内装饰物件。开启这只高身玻璃罐、将物品逐一放入的过程，需要时间与静心。该设计同时也助力于传统玻璃制作工艺的传承与保护。

Design Challenge: The challenge in the process is to find the perfect flow for the colors, so that the appearance is remains fresh. 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, the origin of Finnish glass making and the rare knowledge behind the craftsmanship.
Research: Preserving is the main idea of the object. Preserving the craftmanship, medium and the preserving as the function. The starting point of the design process is to use studio made glass as the medium of the design, because the endangered tradition of glass making is being applied to the Unesco’s World heritage lit. Using glass as a medium the designer takes action in preserving the ancient craftsmanship.
Inspiration: Purnu collection is inspired by marshmallows and pop culture. The design philosophy of the object is to reflect the Northern aesthetics with playful colors and simplified shape. The concept of the design is to flirt poetic glass medium.
Project Duration: Project started in spring 2022 in Helsinki, Finland.
Operation Flow: Purnu is designed to create harmonious moments into everyday life. When the tall jar is opened, it takes time and calmness to place items, such as flowers or food inside it to be preserved. These moments of serenity are rare and valuable in a hectic World.
