OBJECTS FIRST, VASES SECOND

Let’s be real: the vase is no longer just a flower-holder. It’s the whole damn show.

In the hands of today’s contemporary designers, vases are stepping off the sidelines and demanding shelf space with purpose. A sculpture where function nods to form. Curves that flirt with brutalism. Edges that whisper “don’t call me pretty.” Pieces that feel more Brooklyn art boy in his ceramic era than your grandma’s glass urn.

There’s a quiet drama in these silhouettes. A stillness that somehow moves. Each one is giving form over function — but not in a try-hard way. More like: “I woke up like this, hand-thrown and slightly off-kilter.”

Forget the florals. We’re here for vessels with presence. With personality. With that perfectly unpolished, slightly weird, somehow soothing vibe that makes you pause and look twice.

Because sometimes, the object is the statement. And these vases? Yeah, they’re not here to blend in.
