Glass scholarship of the year awarded by Svenskt Tenn
Tillsammans med Svenskt Tenn har andraårsstudenterna på Form utforskat glasdesign under sex veckor. Uppdraget vara att skapa en produkt eller produktserie på temat “Det dukade bordet”.
"I was inspired by a midsummer tablecloth in Dalarna where the table was decorated with potatoes. The shapes of potatoes led me to a vase that makes low table decorations possible. The glass is blown through a metal shape, giving each vase a unique touch.
Svenskt Tenn was particularly impressed by how she had solved the advanced product design And with the scholarship, she wants to give her the chance for 3 more hours in the glassworks to really be able to create what she wants to achieve.
Honourable mention
Two honorable mentions were awarded. One went to Rasmus Randén and his salad bowl, which draws inspiration from the chanterelle and which, according to Svenskt Tenn, captured the aesthetics and aesthetics of the product design that fits in their range.
The second honorable mention went to Mika Lindblad and her series of bowls adorned at the bottom by a relief depicting a fossil. Svenskt Tenn was particularly impressed by her solution, which means that the bowl has both a fixed and a rotating part.
