innerblow collection

A collection inspired by the way professional glassblowers draw a lump of molten glass onto the tip of a metal pipe and create form by expanding the glass with their breath, blown down the metal. After expanding the glass in a square metal form, we left the glass in place rather than removing it and flipped over the form to create a table. The metal form becomes the table’s legs and the glass, flattened through pressure against the floor, its flat top. Each of the five tables is different. We raised one metal form during blowing to create an edge that swells over like a loaf of bread. Another table was created by several glassblowers blowing into one form simultaneously.

一系列灵感来自于专业玻璃吹制者将一块熔融玻璃拉到金属管尖端并通过呼吸使玻璃膨胀而形成的形状，将金属吹掉。在将玻璃以方形金属形式展开之后，我们将玻璃留在原位而不是将其取下并翻转在模板上以形成桌子。金属形状成为桌子的腿和玻璃，通过压在地板上的压平，平顶。五个表中的每一个都是不同的。我们在吹制过程中提出了一种金属形状，以形成像一条面包一样膨胀的边缘。另一张桌子是由几个玻璃吹制工人同时吹成一个表格而制作的。
