About Purnu 儲物罐

Purnu係一款玲瓏玻璃罐,專為儲存食物、鮮花同其他小物件而設計。Purnu係喺芬蘭赫爾辛基一間工作室裡,以人手吹製玻璃塑形而成。呢個罐子高20厘米,造型簡約,配以充滿童趣嘅色彩,盡顯北歐美學特色。罐子可以用嚟盛載食物或鮮花,亦可以空置擺放,當作室內裝飾物。打開呢個高身罐子並將物件放入去嘅過程,需要時間同埋一份寧靜心境。呢個設計亦有助於傳承傳統玻璃製作工藝。

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.
