PRODUCTS FOR THE EXHIBITION
Dew – Dew is a series of mouth-blown vases with matte sandblasted stripes. The stripes on the outside of the glass and the color on the inside create shadows that give a unique depth and texture to the otherwise monochrome volume.

Multi – Multi is a lantern consisting of two overlapping glass bubbles. The inner bubble gives the light source an organic shape, while the outer one interprets the light and releases it. Multi can also be used as a vase or containers.

Graphic vases - Melvær has explored the relationship between the shape of the vases and the motif on the surface in collaboration with Magnor Glassverk. The Gro vase is a grail. The Else vase is partially sandblasted down to the next color layer. Vase Marie has one color that changes transparency with the curves.
