Bookmark | Bookmark

The concept of bookmarks is given to the flower device, so that each reading pause is marked with a flower. Like a flower growing out of a book. The cover of the book becomes the skin of the vase. The dedicated reading of every book and the blooming of every flower meet here. Constantly changing books and flowers make the flower utensils change constantly, and the driving force for this change comes from reading and the love of life.

Taking vases as bookmarks, you can mark each reading break with flowers. It seems like flowers growing out of a book and book covers will be just like the surface of a vase. The concentrated reading of every book and the blooming of every flower meet here. Constantly changing books and flowers let vases constantly change, the driving force of which comes from reading and love of life.

The triangular section of the flower utensil fits better with the book, and it is also conducive to the feeling of holding each time the water is changed. The base is retracted and suspended, so that the books that are separated from the desktop are protected.

The triangular section of the vases can better fit with books. It can let the vase be easily held when changing the water and a smaller base gives suspension sense, protecting the books separated from the table.

A-B

Generally, there are at least two types of flower arrangements in shape: horizontal disc-shaped space and vertical bottle-shaped space. The design abstracts these two forms into a cylinder and a cone, and connects the two, so that the upper water storage space and the lower supporting function of the flower vessel are integrated, and a structure that is opposite to each other is formed.

One utensil is placed by flipping the front and back to create two flower utensils with different styles. On this basis, more forms and combinations can be derived to adapt to different flower materials and spatial characteristics.

Turning out the different side of the vase can create two different styles. On this basis, more forms and combinations can be created to adapt to different flowers and space characteristics.

I&D

The glass tube is used as the water storage space for the flower vessel, which is embedded in the black metal to form a simple flower vessel shape. The contrast between the transparent glass and the black metal seems to have a modernist aesthetic. With the entry of water and flowers, the crystal clear life and geometric beauty create a poetic contrast.

Branch ZHITOU Vase

Use pruned and planted branches as flower support to form a natural structure with unique beauty. The top of the branch is fixed with a glass tube after heat shrinking with plastic, and the bottom stands in a natural three-branch structure. Its production method is simple, and each piece is different, like an art installation.

Branches trimmed from plants are used as vase support, forming a natural structure with unique beauty. The tip of a branch is heat shrunk with plastic and fixed to a glass tube, standing with a natural intersected three-branch structure. It is simple to make and each one is different, just like an art installation.

Materials from everyday life, juxtaposed into interesting forms, and then serve everyday life. Transparency and organic, homogeneity and opposition, art and everyday. When the flower branches are placed in the transparent bottle, the new branches of the branches are sprouting again.

Interesting shapes made of daily materials serve daily life, a combination between transparency and organism, homogeneity and contrast, art and daily life. When flowers are placed into it, new life of branches restarts.
