About River 花瓶

River 是一款手工吹制玻璃花瓶，灵感源自芬兰苏奥内约基（Suonenjoki）的一条蓝色河流。器身高 22 厘米，采用简洁的椭圆造型。每一件作品均在芬兰的工作室中手工制作与塑形，因此玻璃层内的色彩流动皆独一无二。色彩在表面流淌，宛如潺潺流水。底部细小的苏打气泡与光线相互映衬。每只花瓶均由手工签名。该设计将宁静的斯堪的纳维亚造型与芬兰玻璃吹制工艺相融合，创造出经久耐用、超越时间的日常器物。

Tags: vase, finland, suonenjoki, vessel
Production Technology: Studio made, hand shaped glass
Design Challenge: The challenge of the design is to create movement of river in a way that it flows beautifully with the simplified oval shape. Every vessel of the collection is unique. Therefore all the pieces created must have the same soul, but the unique charisma.
Research: The River vase aims to capture the essence of flowing water with the means of mouth blown glass. The impression is desired to be flowing, free yet harmonious. The contrasts in nature are the main research viewpoint of the collection.
Inspiration: River vase is inspired by a blue river located in Suonenjoki Finland. The collection plays with 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 flowing rivee water. Every vase has their own breath. Its a methaphor for a soul of a piece that makes it more than mere interior object.
Project Duration: River vase is designed in 2021 for the city of Suonenjoki
Operation Flow: Studio made vessels are expertly handcrafted in Finland. Each mouth blown object has unique watery texture and is signed by hand. There are soda bubbles on the bottom that react with light. The design philosophy behind the series is to create elegant, timeless and durable everyday objects. The vases gain their value from their high quality and design.
