101 Copenhagen's Kyoto Vase: A Harmony of East Meets West in Design
In the world of sophisticated home decor, 101 Copenhagen stands out for its impeccable fusion of diverse design influences. Their Kyoto Vase is a perfect testament to this philosophy. Drawing inspiration from ancient Eastern aesthetics, Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl have masterfully designed this piece, harmoniously intertwining the timeless allure of classical Japanese and Chinese vases with Scandinavian minimalism.
At the heart of the Kyoto Vase is an architectural marvel. Constructed as a cross of four robust walls, it elevates an oval-shaped sphere, revealing a captivating circular opening in its center. This design not only reimagines traditional vase forms but also ensures that the piece offers a distinctive view from every angle. Such multi-dimensional design choices make it a centerpiece, regardless of its surroundings.
Every Kyoto Vase from 101 Copenhagen is crafted in ceramic—a material celebrated for its durability and aesthetic grace. The hand-glazed finish introduces a touch of authenticity to each vase, accentuating its handcrafted nature. These subtle variations in color and texture, inherent in the glazing process, further underscore the uniqueness of each piece.
While the vase is a visual masterpiece, 101 Copenhagen ensures it remains functionally apt. With the understanding that ceramics aren't inherently watertight, the brand thoughtfully includes a bag within each vase to comfortably house fresh flowers, enhancing its practical appeal.
In the Kyoto Vase, 101 Copenhagen offers more than just an exquisite decorative piece. It is a seamless blend of past and present, East and West, showcasing how traditional designs can be revitalized with contemporary flair. It's not just a vase—it's a narrative of art, history, and design, perfectly encapsulated by the genius collaboration of Hansen and Hyldahl.
