La Espiral

About

I love having flowers at home, it is a little joy that can bring so much color to the room and even change the atmosphere.

These are a series of acrylic handmade vases designed and crafted from my studio in Shanghai.

A unique decorative item for your home, or working space, that I hope will brighten up your day together with your favorite flowers. Making every pair unrepeatable & uncommon.

 

The inspiration

When I was experimenting on the flower vases series, it really felt like I should let the material guide me.

The most natural, fluid and the very first shape that came out was the spiral.

Moving from a fixed point while constantly receding from it…
An uninterrupted search towards and from the center, the core…
 

 

While making this vase I found a poem (or the poem found me) which connected with me at that time and with the concept of this vase.

Here is an excerpt from this poem that titled Espiral (Spiral) by Octavio Paz, Mexican Writer:

*Espiral
“…Y la espiral en cada cosa
su vibración difunde en giros:
el movimiento no reposa.”

“…And the spiral in everything
spreads its vibration in turns
the movement does not rest.”

by O.Paz

 

 

I made four different colors, each of them hand dyed.  

 

 

How to use

To enjoy them simply add water inside the tubes and place your favourite flowers.
Or even without any water, just by putting dry flowers in them.

 

Size & color

Every vase is handmade, therefore the sizes may vary slightly every time I make a new one.
The average size of each vase is close to the proportions shown below.

As for the colors, the gradients may be slightly lighter or darker as I do the dying by hand.
