This vase is meant to exist as an independent object in a room, even when it is not in use. The object turns it into a small architectural unit of its own right, even when the vase is empty and would be put away to storage.
Based on the natural purity of the materials and the subtle color choice, the vase obtains a natural elegance. The bottom part is made of hand blown glass and covered with a diamond-shaped grid, which acts as placeholder for single flowers. Through the systematically arranged cell decor, a large circular arc will be created with a flowers bouquet. To generate an aesthetic composition, the number of flowers can be reduced down to personal taste.
Inspired by Ikebana and Sir Norman Fosters building in London - "The Gherkin".
