Sketches inspired by a stay in Japan take form in the IkebanaMedulla vases by Benjamin Graindorge. Presented by the Galerie Ymer&Malta, the vases will be shown at the Pavillon des Arts et du Design 2010 at the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris next week.




"When I began designing the IkebanaMedulla vases two things were foremost in my mind. The first was practical - design a vase that would be inhabited even when there were no flowers in it. The second was to think out a project whose form would bring together complete calm with a wild - almost animal - tension. I'm exploring the idea of natural savagery, and the IkebanaMedulla vases are my first attempt at a resolution."
