将用于分水的塑料管道转化为手吹花瓶
Plastic pipes used to distribute water transformed into hand blown vases

设计师Kodai Iwamoto通过精心设计，让大量生产的塑料管变身花瓶，这些系列设计作品在米兰设计周期间展出。为了探索将旧工艺与便宜易用材料相结合的潜力，日本产品设计师将玻璃吹制技术应用于塑料管道，将其转化为艺术品。

Kodai Iwamoto transforms mass-produced plastic pipes into ‘ex-portation’, a series of flower vases on show during Milan design week. Exploring the potential of combining an old manufacturing process with a cheap, easily-available material, the Japanese product designer applied the technique of glass blowing to turn plastic pipes used to distribute water into works of art.



通过将气压施加到封闭的管道中，Kodai Iwamoto用加热器缓慢地加热管道，使其变软易于塑性。正如玻璃吹制品一样，例如模具的形状、气压和管道表面的加热速度等因素都会影响物体的形状。由塑料管改造的花瓶艺术品将在4月17日至22日展出。

By applying air pressure into a closed pipe, Kodai Iwamoto then slowly warmed the pipe with a heater to make it soft and moldable. As with glass blowing, many factors such as the shape of the mold, air-pressure and the speed of heating the pipe’s surface affect the shape of an object. The collection of vases born out of plastic tubes will be exhibited as part of Ventura future from 17 to 22 of April.
