AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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

The fan-shaped form with multiple openings gives the vase a playful and architectural character. The organically shaped neck openings seem to flow out of the surface. This creates a dynamic line pattern and makes the object interesting from every angle. The wide base provides stability and emphasizes the monumental look.

In the 1990s aluminium was widely used in design objects because of its industrial appearance and light weight. Designers experimented with shapes and surfaces, combining clean lines with flowing, almost futuristic forms. This vase fits perfectly with that and evokes studio objects or limited design pieces from that period.

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