Flower Tumbler

The Flower Tumbler is a handmade drinking glass by NIKO JUNE, exploring how existing tools and fragments can be used to create new sculptural forms. A further development of Bouquet Theory, the design combines traditional glassmaking with an experimental approach to mould-making. Each glass is cast into sections of an old mould. Where parts of the original mould are missing, the molten glass is left to expand and is shaped freely by the glassblower. The final form emerges through the relationship between what remains of the mould and what is absent. Familiar industrial forms remain visible, while the missing sections allow each glass to develop its own distinctive shape. Produced in Denmark in close collaboration with our glassblowers at Holmegaard Værk, each Flower Tumbler carries subtle variations that reflect both the fragmented mould and its handmade production.
