为LOBMEYR度过的时光

2011年

时间是使得Lobmeyr如此特别的一个特质。

在生产及装饰那些拥有永恒设计的水晶器皿上，投入了大量时间，有时单件作品就需耗时长达100小时。这种对时间的投入使Lobmeyr有别于其他玻璃制造商，并成为“流逝的时间”这一灵感的源泉。

沙漏中沙子的流动传统上用来记录经过的时间，它同时也是过去与未来之间细微界限的物理体现。通过这个房间中的装置，沙子的沉积不仅在钟面上形成分钟和小时，而是形成抽象且不断变化的图案，展示了时间与装饰之间的联系。沙子还与Lobmeyr有着实质性的联系，因为它正是制造水晶的原材料。

这个房间中的沙漏是通过向Lobmeyr阿尔法系列中两个现有玻璃容器引入一个新元素来制作的。一个车制的木质连接器将这些容器转变成完全不同的功能性物品。在这里，沙子的流动表达了雕刻装饰所花费的时间。当达到一分钟标记时，沙漏侧面所示的装饰很简单；到五分钟标记时，装饰变得更加复杂，以此类推。

此装置艺术为J. & L. Lobmeyr，维也纳委托创作，作为2011年10月维也纳激情之路项目的一部分，于维也纳设计周期间展出。

TIME ELAPSED FOR LOBMEYR

2011

Time is a quality that makes Lobmeyr so special.

Great investments of time are taken in producing and decorating the crystalware that possesses timeless design, or up to 100 hours for a single object. This investment in time differentiates Lobmeyr from other glass manufacturers and was the inspiration for Time elapsed.

The flow of sand through an hourglass is traditionally used to keep track of elapsed time. It is also physical representation of the fine line between the past and the future. Through the machine in this room, the deposition of sand forms not minutes and hours on a clock face but abstract and changing patterns, illustrating the link between time and decoration. The sand also holds a physical connection with Lobmeyr, since it is the raw material from which the crystal is created.

The hourglasses in this room were made by introducing a new element to two existing glasses from Lobmeyr's Alpha series. A turned wooden connector transforms the vessels into very different functional objects. Here the flow of sand expresses how much time it has taken to engrave a decoration. At the one minute mark, the decoration illustrated on the side of the hourglass is simple, at the five minute mark it becomes more intricate, and so on.
