AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An striking and characterful design vase from the 1990s, made of solid aluminum. This piece is a powerful example of postmodern design, where functionality and sculpture seamlessly merge.

The fan-shaped form with multiple openings gives the vase a playful yet architectural character. The organically shaped neck openings seem to flow from the surface. This creates a dynamic interplay of lines and makes the object interesting from every angle. The broad base provides stability and emphasizes its monumental appearance.

In the 1990s, aluminum was widely used in design objects due to its industrial look and light weight. Designers experimented with shapes and surfaces, pairing sharp lines with flowing, almost futuristic forms. This vase fits in perfectly with that trend and evokes studio pieces or limited-edition design items from that period.

The matte, softly glistening finish enhances the sculptural effect and catches the light in a subtle way. The vase can be used functionally with multiple flowers or branches, or as a purely decorative object.
