Vitra Nuage Medium Vase - / Bouroullec, 2016 by Vitra Green
Description
Vitra Vase Green Metal. Dimensions: L 19.5 x D 11 cm x H 24 cm. Since the early 2000s, the work of the brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec has emerged as one of the most representative of the dynamism of French design. Working as a pair since 1998, the two brothers now design for many industrialists, while pursuing experimental research. The shape of the Nuage vases was first seen in the work of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in 2002. The motif evokes a cloud and was originally produced as a plastic shelf module that can be assembled in groups or large configurations. Eight tube-shaped holes are drilled into the flat surfaces of the modular element, defining the outer contours of the shape. Over the years, the Bouroullec brothers have made variations to the shape, which they have repeatedly integrated into their graphic work. For the creation of the Nuage vase, the designers made the motif from extruded aluminium shapes of different lengths. The holes are then placed vertically in the base form, dividing the vase into eight individual openings that can be used for beautiful flower and herb arrangements. The corrugated surfaces, which have an anodised finish available in various colours, create a captivating interplay between light and shadow. Thanks to their precise external contours, the vases can be put together to create real cloud formations”. The multiple openings allow each flower to be highlighted. Thus arranged, a bouquet takes on a graceful lightness, almost surreal.
