The co-operative project \u201aSolvent Scale\u2018 includes glass vessels that originally had been used to recover industrial solvents. These large vessels with standardised shapes and measuring scales were formed in an open-air blast furnace, built specially for this purpose in 2011. The resultant deformation of the glass elements is not an end in itself, but a by-product or consequence of the liquidised measuring scales. Rather than striving to render the vessels, and by extension the industry, dysfunctional, Walde aims to change their functionality.<\/p>\n

This concept was already being developed in smaller elements in the series \u2018The scent of the fading alpine rose\u2019 in 2009-10. Here the enlarged laboratory vessels were partially filled with the perfume from alpine roses. For decades this process had been carried out for the soap factory Walde by a perfumer from Bayern. Martin Walde\u2019s grandfather had already realised that fading alpine roses had a special, powerful-smelling aroma. We can only imagine its potency in an air-tight melted glass vessel.<\/p>\n

Although production of the alpine rose perfume stopped some years ago, the aroma on the tools which were in use at that time can even today still be smelt.<\/p>\n
