ABOUT THE BRAND
Behind the designer's own brand, Daniella Koós, the products are created in the spirit of playful minimalism. The aesthetics of these objects result from a complex and timeless representation of basic functions and responses to social changes. The designer believes that well-designed objects — even in our fast-paced world — can remain functionally and aesthetically relevant for generations if they convey a message and maintain quality.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITED OBJECTS
HILO vases
The HILO crystal vase collection blends traditional glassblowing with industrial personalization techniques, enabling manufactories to produce contemporary products in a craft-based manner. Glassblowers use wooden molds that wear over time, making each series minimally varied. In the HILO collection, mold wear is embraced as an aesthetic feature, with amortization becoming key to creating unique pieces in series production.
The molds are designed using a system of cylinders and stub cones, allowing for economical material use and customizable heights, with partial customization of the cone elements. The transparent glass material is sustainable, as it can be recycled, and the mold's long lifespan reflects the collection's ideological foundation.
The HILO vase collection won the BIG SEE Awards 2023.
