Project Scope
a punchy rug inspired by mouthblown glass
“Soft / Solid” is a tantalising exploration of colour in mouthblown and hand-sculpted glass, created during a short glass residency in Sweden. Immersed in the artistic landscape of Sweden, I delved into the unknown realm of glass as a medium. The journey was an exploration of the nuances and intersections between liquid glass and supple textiles. The experimentation with glass colours served as inspiration for the development of a unique rug.
Experimenting with glass colours inspired a distinctive rug design, converting glass to another material while maintaining the same sense of transparency, light reflection and opacity. Guided by the interplay of opaque and transparent hues that effortlessly blend together, I created a rug that embodies Kukka’s unmistakable style: vibrant colour blocks, subtle colour gradients and a bold graphic signature.
