“This is a story that simultaneously expresses power, balance, and tranquility.”

Chief Designers of "The Force of Water"

Force of water - Lacquer 

Force of Water - Marble 

Force of Water - Glass 

The glass material top symbolizes water in a natural lake. The dent in the top surface represents a major characteristic of water - a constantly shape changing fluid material. A little glass sphere enhances the natural power of an endless motion by rolling up and down on the top surface. It furthermore characterizes the balance between a single drop of water in relation to an entire lake. All elements depend, and influence each other in a natural system.

We added metal fibre textile into the melting process which reacts according to the processing temperature. The textile deconstructs more and more inside the glass by higher and higher temperatures. Through this effect we want to remind on the value of the minerals and elements existing in natural water, and how sensitive this organic system reacts to surrounding influences.
