BLOUN, a glassblowing company based in Sastamala, Finland, manufactures colourful and unique lamps and other interior design products from recycled glass. The objects are shaped by free-blowing, without moulds or machines, just as glassblowers have done for the past two centuries. Bloun wants to preserve this ancient craft by combining it with modern design.
What does the past of handicrafts look like in the eyes of modern designers, and what kind of inspiration can be drawn from the collection at the museum? The designers invited to the In Good Hands exhibition have had the chance to explore the extensive archives, founded in 1879, of the Friends of Finnish Handicraft at the Design Museum. After this they have created their works in dialogue with the archive materials.
