Kuvaus

A mouth-blown glass vase with a unique colour scheme. Recycled glass has been used in its manufacture.

The Bloom series is the result of a project in which Anne Hirvonen explored ways of utilising glass waste at the Nuutajärvi glass studio. Recycling glass has a significant environmental impact. Compared to glass made from virgin raw materials, the use of recycled glass results in savings in raw material costs and natural resources, energy savings of 20 per cent and lower carbon dioxide emissions. As a material, glass is 100 per cent recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely without any loss of purity or quality.

Made in the glass village of Nuutajärvi. Glassblower Anna Sihvo, assistants Janika Karttunen, Elina Reinola, Klasu Martin and Henri Carrara.

Anne Hirvonen

Designer Anne Hirvonen (b. 1990) graduated from Aalto University with a Master of Arts degree in 2022. She previously trained as a wood artisan and furniture designer.

Despite her diverse background, Hirvonen has focused primarily on glass design in recent years, finding the material deeply fascinating and inspiring. For Anne, glass is the most challenging material she has ever worked with—and that is precisely one of the reasons she finds it so compelling. Developing an understanding of the material, its limitations and its possibilities has opened up the world of glass to her.

Hirvonen is particularly interested in exploring different techniques and processes, always seeking to develop them further through her work. In her experimental projects, she has studied and worked with recycled glass, an exploration that also led to the creation of the Bloom vases.
