{"product_id":"arabia-finland-gunvor-olin-gronqvist-kosmos-plate","title":"Arabia Finland • Gunvor Olin-Grönqvist • Kosmos • plate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe name Kosmos comes from the Greek word \u003cstrong\u003e“kosmos”\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning universe, order, and the harmony of all things. Gunvor Olin‑Grönqvist drew radiating lines for this series in the 1960s, like light spreading outwards from a center, or the slow, rotating tracks in the cosmos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe layers of color in Kosmos are actually formed by a misty gradient created through a spray-glazing technique, combined with hand-painted lines. Finally, during high-temperature firing, these elements naturally produce earthy layers and a cosmic, radiating effect. \u003cbr\u003eThe dark glaze, under light, has the steady calm of damp earth, and also the tranquility of a Nordic winter night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe form was designed by \u003cstrong\u003eUlla Procopé\u003c\/strong\u003e, with stable proportions and a substantial feel, making it one of Arabia's most representative everyday vessels during its peak production period. The languages of two designers converge here: one tells a story with glaze and lines, the other expresses balance with form and weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe charm of Kosmos lies in its mid-century practical aesthetics. It's not a flashy design, but rather one that encapsulates time within the glaze: intertwined light and dark bands of color, subtle variations in hand-painted lines, and natural marks left after firing. Each piece carries a touch of the cosmic and the warmth of a handcrafted era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlaced on a table, the entire space becomes more stable and serene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e---\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArabia Finland｜Gunvor Olin‑Grönqvist \u0026amp; Ulla Procopé｜Kosmos\u003cbr\u003e• Series：Kosmos \u003cbr\u003e• Design Year：1960s \u003cbr\u003e• Designer（decor）：Gunvor Olin‑Grönqvist \u003cbr\u003e• Designer（form）：Ulla Procopé \u003cbr\u003e• Size Plate：Ø 25 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Discontinued： Produced in the 1960s–1970s. \u003cbr\u003eIn the 1970s, Arabia's factory gradually shifted towards more modernized, mass-produced manufacturing methods.\u003cbr\u003eThe spray-glazing and hand-painted lines of Kosmos required more manual labor and time, making it difficult to meet the demands of later mass production.
