Description
This vase captures the playful, futuristic spirit of late-1970s and 1980s design.
It is built as two upright, rectangular-section columns of different heights, joined on an offset, stepped base so that the silhouette reads like a stylised skyline or a fragment of abstract architecture. Each column is open at the top, giving two separate vase mouths. The whole surface is finished in a glossy glaze — an acid lime-green ground animated by a dense red-orange spatter — that makes the geometry vibrate with colour. Crisp-edged and architectural, it is as much a piece of pop sculpture as a vase.
Design & Function
Conceived as a twin-compartment bud vase, with an opening at the top of each column, it works above all as a sculptural statement piece on a console, shelf, mantelpiece or sideboard. The two heights let you compose flowers or single stems at different levels, while the bold colour makes it an instant focal point.
It is equally striking left empty, as a graphic, architectural object.
Materials & Aesthetic
Made of glazed ceramic, the piece embodies the Space Age and postmodern aesthetic of its era — clean geometry, architectural massing and a fearless, pop use of colour, in the spirit of the Memphis and New Wave movements. The lime-and-red spatter glaze gives the strict form a lively, hand-finished energy, and the colour shifts beautifully with the light.
