Tombola vase (glass version)

By combining a generative idea and a traditional fabrication process, every piece made is exclusive. Only when the 128 3d-printed blocks that create the mold are put back together, a generative process happens: the order of the blocks is never the same, thus the vases are always a little different in their outside structure – therefore unique. Once blown, the mold opens like a puzzle. This vase is being produced with an infinite combinatory production process Tombola has been developped in collaboration with multiple craftsmen to allow experiments and optimiziations along the way.

Tombola is now edited by Norman Copenhagen in grey and in pink
