DESIGN NAME: Sand glass
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Family of wooden furniture
INSPIRATION: Since I am a passionate about skiing, every year I spend at least few days on Kopaonik mountain. This mountain is situated in south-east of Serbia and the highest top of it is Pancicev vrh on 2017m of the altitude. Just beside the ski slope there are certain objects in the shape of ball, and they seem like white glowing balls getting out of the snow. Considering that a real wood dominates in my design and thinking about the beauty of the mountain, as a result of all of it I created family of products inspired by time, wood and shape of sand glass.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Family of products Sand glass are unique regarding their shape, and material they are made of. It consists of two tables, two shelves and two lamps. Sand glass is made of oak. The wooden legs in all products are the same are made on the lathe machine, and besides having been perfectly shaped, a tribute to their beauty is given by the organic oil which contains a little bit of pigments because the natural material and natural protection are predominating in the design in order to make a balance between the nature and the furniture.
