ihop glass vase

Composed of two contrasting elements, the Ihop vase brings together a structured form shaped by a mold and an organic, free-flowing upper section born from the breath of glass. As molten glass is blown into the mold, the lower portion takes on its intended contour, while the top emerges unpredictably through the glassblower’s intuition, making each piece one-of-a-kind. The tension between the fixed and the formless accentuates their differences while softening into each other, creating a fluid exchange where structure yields to spontaneity.
