Vases Découpage
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2020
The Vases Découpage each consist of a cast cylindrical vessel combined with a set of abstract slabs and
bars made of clay, which can be attached to or placed inside the vase. All of the elements have a distinctly
handcrafted appearance and exist in a variety of colours – and together they create poetic compositions
that look different from every angle: whimsical, ironic, unconventional, lively.
‚The arrangements form a fragile balance as contrasting colours and layers converge to yield a new
harmony‘, says Ronan Bouroullec. Without flowers they also resemble sculptures.

One variety
With a bouquet consisting of just one variety of flower, the colour plays a major role. Colours that match the
vase have a calming effect, while contrasting colours draw attention to the arrangement.
Single flowers
Beautiful flowers like tulips, gloriosa, lilies, strelitzia, hydrangeas or amaryllis comple-
ment the striking appearance of the vases.
Green arrangement
Green can also be flamboyant and eye-catching, such as a combination of green hues that showcases the
different textures of leaves, twigs and grasses. The long tendrils of the asparagus plant are highly suitable
for an arrangement featuring just one plant.
Florist’s bouquet
Take the vase along to the florist. They will put together a bouquet that complements the clay disc and stem
or will create a spherical bouquet that brings out the red colour of the disc.
