Overview
“When I put flowers in the first prototype of the porcelain vase, I immediately fell in love with it” says designer Sigolène Prébois.
Inspired by Japanese Ikebana, this vase magnifies the beauty of flowers by presenting each one in a separate tube. A few flowers is all it takes to adorn this signature vase! The April Vase is an articulated sculpture with a metallic structure and interlocking tubes. It can be arranged in a multitude of manners: line up a row of peonies in front of your window or create a round composition of wild flowers on your coffee table.
Zinc becomes matt on contact with water and is adorned with a light gray rust similar to frost. In addition, the metal parts cannot withstand the dishwasher or harsh cleaning products. The Vases d’Avril can be cleaned with liquid soap.
