The vase has a strong, visual character, not depending on flowers to be experienced as a complete object. The inner shape of the vase is highlighted by two colors blended, creating a unique look to each vase. Developed as part of Sight Unseen OFFSITE show, Blend is a collaborative work by designers Syrette Lew (US) from Moving Mountains and Runa Klock (N). The designers were drawn to glass for its visually mystifying nature and exceptional properties.  Glass can take on many different qualities, so they wanted the design to consider oppositional relationships like transparent vs. opaque, smooth vs. textured, and loose vs. rigid within the actual object.

The designers sought out local glassblower Andrew O. Hughes who practices at UrbanGlass. Without Hughes' expertise and the resources and facilities that UrbanGlass provided, the project would not have been possible
