Hello, Everyone! Today's feature is of Studio Glithero making their Blueware vase collection.
In the January issue (W*142), Wallpaper* investigates the increasing trend for designers to desire an audience for their creative processes. There was a time when designers used to be the people 'behind the scenes', these days it is 'the making of' things by designers that everyone wants to see. One such design team is Studio Glithero (Sarah van Gameren and Tim Simpson). An important part of their process is to produce films that document the making of their products in an attempt 'to capture the spirit that exists in the moment that things are made'.
In this video Gameren and Simpson documented the making of their latest Blueware collection. Plants are pressed and dried before being attached to the surface of the vase. The vases are then exposed to a UV light on a rotating spit, causing them to change colour while leaving a clear white silhouette of where the plants were attached. The vases are then rinsed in a special type of acid to reveal a deep blue hue which contrasts beautifully with the ghostly white shadow of the plants. Beautiful!
As I watched this video the first time I was fascinated to see how they avoided the tape marks on the final finish. Well, the final finish is gorgeous and I was surprised to see what remained of the tape marks. The tape marks became part of the art! Again, the final finish is gorgeous, tape marks included! 'Me being me' with the imagination I have I 'see' myself using an exacto knife to cut my tape in shapes that mimic the leaves even more precisely so that the tape marks become 'invisible' as they look like the leaves.
I love seeing the creation process the designers utilized via this video. The Studio Glithero Blueware vase is stunning; I love it!
