Contain Exhibition at Gumbostrand on August 28

In the 1990s, “Trojan horses” were computer viruses. A flash on the screen, and something disappeared forever.

Today, the horses look different. The ancient beasts are gone, but a new kind has crept in, gentler in appearance, but just as cunning. It follows your movements, climbs your spine, and smiles sweetly. It needs no rider. It looks like you. Only smoother, calmer. The awkwardness, the sweat, the untimely laughter is gone. It quiets your hunger. It keeps you smiling when you burn.

Fake gold still shines. But does something lose value simply because it doesn’t last forever? Isn’t fragility the very thing that makes us human?

Contain is an exhibition about visibility, power, and the stories we’re told. Curated reality paints chaos with surgical precision. Visual narratives are never innocent. They shape what matters, and who gets to be seen.

Welcome to Contain, opening August 28, 2025 at Gumbostrand Konst & Form.

Flow collection brings 3D perspective into abstract brush strokes

The Flow edition gains inspiration from the elegance of the movement of liquid glass that is frozen into a stasis that is fragile yet forever. The rhythm of the glass making process ensures that every vessel has unique splashes of color that mimic the dance of brush strokes of abstract impression. Every vase has their own breath. It’s a methaphor for a soul of a piece that makes it more than mere interior object. Flow is a 3th edition of Sini Majuri’s Jungle series that has been awarded with a Golden and Silver A’Design Award.

The Flow is a 3th edition of Sini Majuri’s Jungle Collection. Every vase has it’s own color play inside a thick glass.
Every vessel is studio made in Finland and shaped by hand.

Flow collection mixes Scandinavian cool with capricious Finnish glass blowing techniques that allow color flow freely within the glass layers. Collection has three shapes and the design is available in green, blue and purple. Studio made vases are signed by hand and numbered.

A simplified shape can become multi-dimensional in glass medium; There is the visual layer of glass: how does the glass reflect, how will the colors look in different light. Above all there are also the historical layers of glass, the origin of Finnish glass making and the rare knowledge behind the craftsmanship.
