Block vases

industrial design

Japanese studio Nendo strikes again: the Block vases are a set of delicate, small and stackable bud vases that form part of the collection of new additions to their 1% products, to be presented in Milan's Salone del Mobile this coming April.

The vases are carefully measured and designed to fit in stackable formations, never disturbing the vase on the bottom. There are four sizes and each can accomodate one flower, but once stacked they can also fit a tall stem through the different combined vases.

Only 100 of each vase will be made, as befits the concept of the 1% products. According to Nendo:

100 is the perfect amount: they’re neither one-off “works of art” nor mass-produced products made in the millions. Whether its the skill of the artisans or new technologies, we want to make things that are only possible because there are 100 of them. Not more, not less. To give owners the chance to experience the joy of owing 1%.

Minimalissimo is founded on the kindness and support of Raphaël Lutz and 22 others. If you enjoy what we’re doing, consider joining this group.
