moa series

moa series by raija siikamäki from uk

designer's own words:

Glass products in MOA-serie are made out of recycled cathode ray tube (CRT) glass. The products are designed to utilise the variations which typical grey hue of leadfree colour panel CRT glasses can give.

As a backround information for these products have been my research work, utilisation of recycled CRT glass in ceramic and glass industry, for University of Art and Design Helsinki. I have studied the possible application areas for reuse of CRT glasses and dismantling, cleaning and crushing processes needed to meet the raw material requirements for different application areas.

MOA-serie contains glass products made with different casting techniques (kiln casting and conventional casting), techniques to which I have found recycled CRT glass to be an excellent material.
