Anderssen & Voll on Monoblokk for Nedre Foss
Making a symmetrical shape in blown glass is an exercise already done by thousands of craftspeople for literally thousands of years. From a designer’s point of view it’s a bit like designing a stackable chair in plywood and steel tube; it feels hard to be original and you quickly run into the limitations of the material.
That is why leaving axial symmetry behind and deciding on press glass as a manufacturing technique, was really liberating to this process.
The inspiration were gathered from glass panels, aquariums and concrete road dividers.
Monoblokk is a 3D-object approaching a stricter two dimensional format. To us this makes for interesting relationships to other table top «dwellers» like candlesticks, jugs, bowls and even other flower vases – creating a backdrop or a frame for surrounding objects.
