"Though protective gear and material composition might have been minimally tweaked for modern use, the production process has remained functionally similar, until now, with the revolution of additive manufacturing. Utilizing 3D printing, industrial designer and educator Josh Owen adds to an ingenious chorus of makers fundamentally changing the way glass is made and even perceived with the Spiral Vessel Collection, designed for Evenline - the creative studio behind glass 3D printing and a technology co-invented by their founder and lead Michael Stern."
"The Spiral Vessel Collection creates an ergonomic and watertight surface, printed on purpose, with purpose. While 3D printing glass is not necessarily unique to this project, Owen adds a historical lens that is quite welcome. "The 3D-printed Spiral Vessels series for Evenline were envisioned as a visual story of an object told as a single line traced out with molten glass," he shares."
Additive manufacturing is introducing fundamental change to long-standing glass production methods by enabling molten-glass 3D printing and making process visible in finished objects. Industrial designer and educator Josh Owen collaborated with Evenline, using a technology co-invented by Michael Stern, to create the Spiral Vessel Collection. The collection comprises three height variants—Low, Medium, and High—serving as a plate, bowl, and storage vessel, respectively. Each piece is produced as a continuous spiral line, resulting in ergonomic, watertight surfaces and celebrating the fabrication process as ornament. Owen’s academic practice at RIT informs and elevates this process-driven product work.
