Jan Ctvrtnik, Droog Aalto. Glass, 2007. Ctvrtnik won Droog’s Climate Competition, which called for entries designed around a “climate” theme. This glass vase shows how a Finnish lake, the inspiration for the original Aalto vase by Alvar Aalto, could change over time due to global warming.
I realised that climate changes are visualised mostly by numbers and scientific measurements. In order to show changes, it is good to have a reference point.’ And so the Aalto vase became that reference point with its shape originating from the shape of a Finnish lake. The ‘Droog’ part of the title can be translated as ‘Dry’, obviously relating to global warming.
