About the Item

Round square opaque vessel vase by Studio Thier & van Daalen Dimensions: W 30 x D 30 x H 18 cm Materials: wood, glass When blowing soap bubbles in the air Iris & Ruben had the dream to capture these temporary beauties in a tendril frame. The fascinating effect of a floating bubble which adapt to its surrounding until it snaps, was the inspiration for a new series of objects in glass combined with wood by Studio Thier&vanDaalen. They came up with the idea to blow a round bubble of glass in a square frame made from wood. To challenge two ancient handcrafts; free glassblowing and fine woodworking. Fascinated by the two different materials with their own unique properties and treatments; when combined, they have to deal with each other. Wet wood is commonly used as a mould in free hand glassblowing. But never as a definitive part of the end object. Iris and Ruben saw this as a beautiful element to use in the end result. The glass will mark the wood forever during blowing, therefor the wooden mould and its object in glass match perfectly together. With this new method Studio Thier&VanDaalen created different objects, to show your precious objects. Iris van Daalen & Ruben Thier share their fascination for reflection of (sun) light, colour transitions and materials. Over and over, they see it as a challenge to get hold of these phenomena and to abstract and translate them into sustainable designs. New designs for lighting, furniture, jewellery, home accessories and unique objects. In addition, they design sustainable and bespoke interiors for companies and private homes, into spaces where you feel at ease. They combine their sense of aesthetics, intuition and material knowledge with various techniques such as digital modelling and fabrication or traditional craftsmanships to make use of the full potential wherein innovation and elegance come together. In the course of the years, they gained extensive material knowledge, through research and experiment with materials such as wood, glass, plastics, waste materials and more. Their fascination and urge to discover can be traced back into their motto; “Don’t take the world for granted.” By consciously deal with the sources, their surroundings and impact, they want to realise sustainable designs to cherish and which will last long. Iris van Daalen and Ruben Thier both graduated at the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2010 and start their studio in the summer of 2011 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
