Albeit discontinued, this is a statement piece with longevity, as it beautifully pulls off the ambitious task of presenting bold geometric forms and fluid organic textures side by side.

Influenced by the undulating rhythm of ocean waves and the fluid dynamism of postmodern glass art, the vase features deeply sculpted, multi-dimensional ripples. Its genius lies in its relationship with light: as ambient or direct light hits the undulating surfaces, the heavy crystal catches and refracts it beautifully, mimicking the shimmering surface of moving water.

Boasting a generous, asymmetric, organic rim and a sturdy, weighted base, it effortlessly holds voluminous arrangements—such as a lush bundle of roses—yet possesses enough structural artistry to stand alone as a brilliant sculptural centerpiece. A timeless addition to any postmodern, coastal chic, or contemporary home.
