Vessel Gallery is proud to present New Works by Hanne Enemark who is a British designer and glass maker of Danish descent with and understanding of the hot and cold qualities of glass. She draws heavily from her Scandinavian upbringing, the softness of her blown bubbles are in stark contrast to the addition of the hard gem like elements clustered at the foot or the rim of her pieces. The works are labour intensive and all pieces are hand blown and polished using age old techniques. The resultant forms celebrate the many conflicting qualities of glass, from airy fluidity to sharp rocky shards. On show will be her newest and largest pieces ever made, her award winning Cristallized collection and her Phototaxis chandelier.

New Works by Hanne Enemark runs from 10th July to 19th August

The original Bolle collection have been added to with these five new pieces. A series of bottles that are so perfect in balance, colour and composition, it seemed impossible that they could be improved upon. We stand corrected. Wirkkala excells with form but here it is shown he is also a master with colour. Available from June 2012.

Wirkkala is known as the multi-talented genius of Finnish design, the Philippe Starck of his generation. His scope extended from glassware to bank note design and utility graphics. He was one of the most acclaimed of the Finnish designers in the Milan triennale in the post war years and is perhaps best recognised for his inspiration taken from nature. Where his designs for iittala are instantly recognisable, not so well known are his many creations in porcelain and stainless steel for the German company Rosenthal Studio Line.

In honour of Helsinki being the 2012 capital of design many of these designs have now been reissued for 2012 only, including these Spot Relief vases which explore the tactile nature of the material with their raised texture and use of glazed and unglazed high fired porcelain.

Spot Relief vases: 20cm £116, 24cm £161, 18cm £89 and Tapio birds: 22cm or 38cm
in black or white from £53 to £188

Pollo vases: 8cm, 10cm & 20cm in black or white from £53 to £242

New birds by Oiva Toikka

Oiva Toikka has created for iittala an exquisite new collection of birds. Simple forms perfectly suggest the Crow and Raven and this years annual bird, the Mirella, has an exceptionally elegant speckled body with subtle smoky head. A burst of burnt orange from the Kuulas Seville contrasts beautifully with the limited edition Festive Catcher. Choosing which to take home is the hard part!

‘I’ve always wanted to design glasses with a little tray under them,’ he says. ‘Every teacup comes with a saucer, but beer glasses are put on paper coasters. I don’t know why glasses have never had this matching tray. It’s such a basic, stupid idea, I don’t know why no one thought of it before.’ KL

Swedish artist Ann Wåhlström has made glass for companies from Ikea through to Kosta Boda and is well known for her sense of colour and simplicity of design. We are pleased to showcase a collection of  unique art works for the first time and exclusively in the UK.

Her inspiration comes from nature, ancient architecture and children’s book illustration (she cites Moomin creator Tove Jansson as a huge influence). For the past few years Wåhlström has been producing glass works handblown in Seattle and Tacoma where she collaborates with hugely talented blowers that can offer her a different perspective from her Swedish roots.
