Mirage

Design Göran Wärff • 2007 • Handmade in Kosta , Sweden
The Mirage series comprises decorative objects for meditation that are also a vase . Warm colours reflect like a spectrum in the soft , round shapes . The pieces are created by master glassblowers at the Kosta glassworks with an angled pipe to create the curved shapes and with the use of a zoom technique to create the different colours . After cooling , Mirage pieces are finished by experienced , skilled cutters . That ’ s how Mirage is brought into being .
“ Light – my constant inspiration ! From a particular point you can experience something in the Mirage series that also happens in my earlier Saraband collection . You can see what ’ s not there – a phantom Mirage . A similar phenomenon happens on hot days at sea when vessels seem to hover on the horizon – a Mirage .”
