tom dixon | press vase | medium

The Press vase is designed and engineered to catch and refract light, and to last for ever. This heavyweight grooved vase is made of fat, chunky coils of pure and clear transparent glass. Bold in silhouette and simple in function, it is manufactured by dropping big globs of molten glass at 1200 degrees centigrade and pressed in two or three part iron moulds to create the immediately familiar silhouette.
