About Flow 花瓶

Flow係一系列以流動玻璃液嘅動態為靈感嘅玻璃花瓶。呢個系列有三種造型，提供藍色同紫色兩款。每個器皿都係人手吹製、人手塑形，然後簽名同編號，所以每一件作品喺玻璃層之間都帶有獨一無二嘅色彩紋理。高度由90毫米至250毫米不等。傳統芬蘭玻璃吹製工藝令色彩可以喺各層之間自由流動。設計旨在為日常室內空間帶來寧靜感，以及一種光影交錯嘅趣味。

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.
