The rhythm of the glass making process ensures that each object has a unique play of color.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The Orinnoro jar is designed to create harmonious moments into everyday life. When the tall jar is opened, it takes time and calmness to place items, such as flowers or food inside it to be preserved. These moments of serenity are rare and valuable in a hectic World. When the light interacts with the glass, the shadow looks vivid and alive because of the recycled materials texture. The shadow of the glass object is also an important part of the piece, because glass material is never static. It reacts to the surrounding light and environment.

This design is an incredible example of how recycled waste can be used to create a stunning piece of furniture that carries a powerful message. The inspiration behind it is particularly beautiful: the tall shape and color combinations reflect the serene atmosphere of Orinniro gorge in Finland. I love the idea of highlighting the impurities of the glass to emphasize the quality and pureness of modern design. It's amazing how a seemingly simple jar can be transformed into a work of art that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. This is a great reminder of how the recycling process can be used to create something truly unique and beautiful. Congratulations to Sini Majuri for such an incredible design and winning this award!
