Inspired by the flexibility of molten glass, its viscosity and the force of gravity, the crea- tion of Melt was a unique and complex pro- duction. Oki Sato from nendo was inspired by watching the craftspeople in WonderGlass’ workshops working with melted glass. His intention thereafter was to allow the material to direct the design process: molten glass
is first poured into a square frame, where a number of craftsmen simultaneously even out the surface using iron trowels. The glass gradually cools and upon reaching a certain pliancy, it is placed onto a steel shape where it slowly sinks or stretches to create an arch, allowing the natural drape of the material to reveal its form.
