Original asymmetrical vase in amethyst purple opal glass, model "Okkso" designed for Ikea in the 1990s. The piece presents a sculptural and organic design, with a silhouette that rises sinuously, generating an elegant visual movement. Its exterior displays an intense purple hue, while the milky white interior reinforces the chromatic contrast and purity of form. The glass is thick and of considerable weight, which gives solidity and presence to the object.
This vase is part of the Scandinavian design context of the late twentieth century, when Ikea began to explore bolder proposals that, without renouncing industrial production, sought to dialogue with international artistic design trends. During the nineties, colored glass with geometric or free forms was highly appreciated in contemporary decoration, becoming a symbol of accessible sophistication. This particular piece stands out for its originality and balance between Nordic simplicity and formal expressiveness, which today makes it an object of great interest to collectors of modern design.
The most striking aspect of the piece lies in the form achieved through the treatment of bent glass, which is folded in a way that accentuates its asymmetry and gives a sense of dynamism. The bent glass has a technique that involves heating the material to reach a point of malleability that allows it to fold or bend gently without losing consistency. Once softened, the glass is manipulated on molds or by means of specific tools to generate folds, undulations or controlled falls. This procedure gives the work a dynamic and organic character, as each fold retains the imprint of the gesture or molding, giving uniqueness to each piece.
