This is another of Koskinen's striking designs. Like most of them it has a simple shape, in this case seen from upwards it has the shape of one of the alleles of a chromosome... these biological shapes are not uncommon in Koskinen's work.
At somepoint, it also reminds of Aalto's Savoy vase.
This series came in blue, white and clear glass...
Like the blue the best!
Me too, Amber! foundthis in adiscount warehouseand they had the three colours... I didn't doubt about it: BLUE FOR ME! :)
Great minds think alike :)
LOL! Well, the other ones couldn't offer the game of shades and transparencies the blueonedoes... i usually tend to choose coloured glas over clear if possible (plus they're easier to take pictures of!)
stunning!!
Thnaks Sean!!! I just added a pic from the internet of the vase seen from above, so you can get a proper idea of its actual shape.
Thankyou austro for showing the extra picture !!! it really is a stunning vase :)
You're welcome, Sean! I should have taken one like that myself and share it from the begining...
I totally understand that, theres times of shooting photos , I would have done it differently.
