Swirl Stem Vase

A psychedelic update of an Italian post-modernist aesthetic, the pop sensibility of the Swirl Stem Vase is created from a series of geometric forms stacked upon one another to create multi-dimensional, functional sculptures. The unique process involves recycling the powdered residue from the marble industry, mixed with pigment and resin to create blocks of material that can then be sawn, sliced, and turned on a lathe. The Swirl Stem Vase is inspired by Ikebana, which is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Anchored with a heavy base, the cylindrical vessels allow branches and flowers to cantilever out.
