OA84.2
84.2 Copper Mesh Glass Vase is created by suspending a bubble of coloured glass within a fine copper mesh basket that is then plunged into hot clear glass. Air is blown into the matrix to gently push the white glass through the mesh, creating a delicate pillowed form that rests inside the thick outer layer of clear glass. Undulations in the exterior shape are a natural consequence of the fabrication process and differ in each iteration of the procedure. The aperture is flared open and finished, allowing the piece to function as a vase, and expressing the outline of the copper mesh along the perimeter that unique to each piece.
THE DESIGNER
歐梅爾·阿貝爾
加拿大溫哥華
Omer Arbel於 1976 年出生於以色列耶路撒冷，在溫哥華長大。他於 1990 年代接受建築師培訓，並曾先後師從巴塞隆納的建築師 Enric Miralles，以及溫哥華的 John 和 Patricia Patkau。他的建築背景在家具與燈光設計中展露無遺——其作品的特點不僅在於自身固有的品質，還在於它們對周圍空間產生的影響。
Arbel 的作品曾榮獲多項當代工業設計最高殊榮，並被廣泛報導。113 系列源於 OAO 持續研究玻璃與金屬之間相互關係的一系列新發現。
