About the Item

Stabile no. 100 by Milla Vaahtera Dimensions: D 21 x W 30 x H 90 cm Materials: Hand-blown glass, handcrafted brass. Milla Vaahtera "My method emerged from a desire to bring more intuition and unpredictability into the glassmaking process. Each piece is created through an improvisational collaboration with skilled glassblowers, allowing the glass to evolve naturally in the moment. The resulting forms are vibrant and expressive, capturing the energy of spontaneous creation. The metalwork follows a similar approach, though it’s something I carry out independently in my own workshop. This particular piece is a balancing sculpture with a solid brass base that also functions as a light. It is first and foremost a sculpture — the light is secondary. The piece plays with some classic forms but ultimately escapes into the realm of art." In 2020, Milla Vaahtera started a series of unique sculptural lights made out of brass and hand-blown glass. "I have focused on mobile artwork for the past few years, and this series with light is a natural continuum of that work. These lights are all unique and made by a very intuitive process. Glass parts are made in collaboration with a team of glass blowers from Nuutajärvi Glass Village. The creative process of joining methods of art to traditional areas of craft is the most important thing to me in my work. Traditionally, craft has been an area where professionals avoid failure. Lack of failure makes them good. I'm revolutionary in embracing failure in the craft process. I always find new techniques via failure. Failure is not the opposite of success; it's a necessary part of it. When I find the flow of “not giving a shit” in my work, I find freedom and fun, and achieve the best work. Embracing failure shuts up the critical comments in my head, and I’m liberated. I´m inspired by everything and find influences all around me. I find leaving some tool marks on the brass and "the mistakes" refreshing. With glass, the pieces where you could see the moment of melt in the final work are always my favorites. And I felt that now I work in dialogue with glass. I learned to use improvisation at the moment to maintain the wild nature of glass. Glass is like me, spontaneous and organic. " Glassblowers: Paula Pääkkönen, Sani Lappalainen, Otto Koivuranta, Jukka Viuha, Penna Tornberg, and many other glassblowers from Nuutajärvi. The metal parts: Silversmith Kirsi Kokkonen, together with Milla Vaahtera Electric work Ullanlinnan sähkö Vaahtera began to work on this series in May 2017 together with glassblowers Paula Pääkkönen, Sani Lappalainen, Pauli Vähäsarja, Henni Eliala, and Jonas Paajanen of Nuutajärvi. The metal parts were prepared by silversmith Kirsi Kokkonen together with Milla Vaahtera. The method was based on dialogue with the glass artists, improvisation, and intuition. The ethereal pieces are a revival of the mobile tradition that emerged in the 1930s. The heavy glass parts and the delicate brass seek a balance with each other, thus creating tensions within the works. Milla Vaahtera (born 1981) is a designer and an artist working in Helsinki. The themes of her works extend from body image and sexuality to intuition and dialogue in the creative process. Vaahtera graduated with a Master of Arts in 2010 from Aalto University, the School of Arts, Design and Architecture. She did her BA studies at the Lahti Institute of Design in 2008. Her work is featured in several exhibitions at galleries and museums, including the Design Museum Finland, Lokal gallery, and UU Market. She is most known for her Dialogue series, mobiles, and stabiles, in which she combines bold glass parts with delicate brass. The process of making dialogue pieces is based on dialogue and improvisation. Vaahtera is passionate to Revive the Finnish heritage of glassblowing and give the young generation of makers new opportunities to deepen their skills. All our lamps can be wired according to each country. If sold to the USA it will be wired for the USA for instance.
