Seeds are not what they seem: a nature inspired object
The look of various seeds is very intriguing: an odd shape hides so much inside that the result of what evolves from it can be astonishing. Magnificent and regal oak tree takes a lot of time to grow from a funny-looking and humble acorn, which accumulates all its future power underneath its skin.
The same is with crystal glass: the excellence takes so much time and effort to reach that it is limited with the very few factories which still work with this art. In the hands of craftsmen an odd initial shape of glass mass is crystallised into a perfect final object.
Acorn-Shaped Box shows an array of techniques including crystal cut and sandblasting. It can also boast two layers of coloured crystal glass, with one shining through another.
An unusual shape of an object shows what we do best: finding unexpected properties of the materials and making them their strong feature.
Acorn-Shaped Box is 25.5 cm in height and 20.5 cm wide.
Approximate weight — 3 kg.
