Flow

Flow is a collection of glass vases inspired by the movement of liquid glass. The collection has three shapes and is offered in blue and purple. Each vessel is mouth blown and shaped by hand, then signed and numbered, so every piece carries its own pattern of color within the glass layers. Heights range from 90 to 250 millimeters. Traditional Finnish glass blowing techniques let the color move freely between the layers. The intent is to bring calm and a play of light and shadow into everyday interiors.

Joyful Color

Joyful Color is a set of reusable colored pens designed for children. Each pen is made from recycled plastic, and the pen shell gains a second purpose after drawing. The pen body can be taken apart with a simple tool, so one pen becomes several small columnar parts. The parts can then be freely assembled through an interlocking structure. Children can move from two-dimensional drawing to three-dimensional building. Each pen measures 110 by 21 by 21 millimeters. The aim is to reduce plastic waste and to support manual skill and spatial imagination.
