About Pikku 花瓶

Pikku係一個以回收廢玻璃製成嘅小花瓶。每個器皿都經過人手吹製、塑形，並附有簽名同編號。玻璃製作過程中嘅節奏，喺玻璃層之間創造出獨特嘅色彩飛濺效果。呢個系列嘅靈感源自肥皂泡同抽象繪畫中筆觸嘅動態。每個花瓶高100毫米，備有粉紅色、藍色同紫色三款選擇。當光線穿透玻璃時，器皿嘅陰影會反映出內裡色彩嘅交織變化。Pikku將可持續設計理念同斯堪的納維亞設計哲學融為一體。

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.
