堆叠的花瓶
Stacking Vessels
2012
“堆叠的花瓶”系列是对工艺和功能的完美结合，产品的设计理念在于以创新的方式呈现传统材料，给人以耳目一新的感觉。它们像是一个个嵌套娃娃，每一个花瓶都由黄铜、木头以及玻璃这三个不同构件组成，集不同的加工工艺于一体。所有制作过程中所需要的技术支持：从玻璃吹制、木工、陶瓷烧制、金属锻造乃至软木塞定制，设计师均从欧洲众多规模不大但却高度专业化的工作室寻求的。
Stacking Vessels combines craftsmanship and functionality. Like a nesting doll, each vessel consists of three separate containers made from various techniques fusing brass, wood, and studio glass. Whether it’s glass blowers, carpenters, ceramicists, metal spinners, or most recently, cork experts, the designer sourced talent from small, specialised European workshops. The product philosophy is to combine traditional materials in innovative ways that change conventional perceptions.
