Glass Series ‘Scaled Glass’
This third series of glass objects, six bowls with the title ‘Scaled Glass’, really lets the design derive from the light and the material.
Cees Dam: “With these bowls I am more on the spatial side than on the mathematical construction side. You can also clearly read that difference from the working drawings. Designers of strict, mathematical glass draw designs that are tightly tailored and scaled. I am certainly not in favour of allowing serendipity a prominent role to play, but my drawings are simply a lot looser. For me it is more about ideas and thoughts than about length times width times height. ”
