雪花球是一种在透明液体中包含微型物质以及模仿雪花的白色颗粒的常见装饰品，可以通过摇晃球体来模拟下雪的景致。在设计这个新的雪景球时，基于对景致的吸引力以及观赏持久性的考虑，同时让积雪沉积的过程和状态同样具有吸引力，设计团队将内部的物体以特殊透明材料进行了伪装。

▼项目概念，Concept ©nendo

A snow globe that contains miniature objects and white particles imitating snow in a transparent liquid. It is a common ornament for enjoying the scenery of snow by shaking itself. When designing a new snow globe, consideration was given to make the scenery appealing and enjoyable for longer than simply in the moment of snow dancing, turning the process and the state after snow accumulation more attractive. To that end, the object inside was camouflaged with transparency.

通常，用水稀释的甘油可使雪花球中的颗粒缓慢地飘动，并产生约为1.333至1.475的折射率。如果采用折射率尽可能接近这一数值的超透明硅树脂来打造一个物体，其形状就会消失。

Generally, water-diluted glycerin is used to allow the particles in the snow globe to flutter slowly, with a refractive index of approximately 1.333 to 1.475. By creating an object using an ultra-transparent silicone resin with a refractive index as close as possible to this value, its form disappears.

在摇晃雪球之后，除了飘落的雪，其余均会消失不见。随着这些飘动的雪慢慢堆积，一个模糊的轮廓开始出现。当雪花完全堆积起来时，图案便会清晰地以白色形态呈现，而没有雪的物体下方看起来则像是它的影子。

Immediately after shaking the snow globe, nothing else is visible other than the falling snow. As the snow slowly piles up, a vague outline begins to appear. When the snow is completely piled up, the motif emerges clearly in white, and the lower part of the object without snow looks like its shadow.

物体中一共可展示三种类型的图案：“花”、“微笑”和“螺旋楼梯”。通过消除原有物质的存在，强调了雪的印象和作用，并且，在这种精巧设计之下，用户可随着时间的推移慢慢地享受视觉的变化。

Three types of motifs are available for the objects: “flowers,” “smile,” and “spiral stairs.” By initially erasing the existence of the object, the impression and the role of snow is emphasized, and the design allows enjoyment of visual changes over time.
