The Shizen vase has been designed to embody the natural origin of its woven fibers, while remaining dedicated to its purpose to highlight flowers. The presence of the Shizen vase is an invitation to strike a balance between being natural while remaining distinct from it. The Shizen vase is part of the Kawayama collection. Made from the weaving mat that covers the tatamis, the Kawayama collection takes this iconic element of the Japanese culture to a new dimension. Traditionally flat and straight, the tatami suddenly expands in volume and curves, to become luxury homeware and contemporary furniture. Each object is made by hand, following a unique and meticulous process, which reveals the surprising structural properties and sublimates the vibrant effect of this woven material. The Shizen vase comes in different colour combinations. It contains a glass cylinder that can be easily inserted or removed thanks to a simple device delivered with the vase. It also comes with a metal grid to make ikebana. See less
