FOR BOOKAN

FLORA MAXIMA vase
“Initially, the idea is to make the vase different from the ones we usually see, to make it invisible in order to let see only the flower inside. As a result, the vase seems to be a natural elongation of the flower"

DESIGN?

“When I develop new furniture or new objects, I try above all to define the object background in relation to its function, what it symbolizes. We have to forget the shapes of this item we already know to rethink it, reinvent it.”
