Extraordinary, playful, fresh, never seen before, impractical, illogical are words that can be used to describe Growing Vases yet it still doesn’t capture its essence. There are no words to express the whimsical nature of this lighting installation. Nendo and Lasvit collaborated to create an art piece, which conveys the quixotic appeal of glass as something impractical and incomplete yet provides a breath of fresh air and opens up new possibilities. Created with Czech Bohemian glass, this lighting installation alludes to a whimsical glass forest filled with abstract flowers and branches. The principle of a flower and a vase here is turned upside down. By turning the pipes into the flowers and branches and by blowing the glass into a vase, suddenly the vases are blooming from flowers instead of flowers blooming in vases! Growing Vases breaks conventions and symbolises the birth of life. Reference: Chateau Monferrier, Périgueux, France
