Strong yet soft. Rough and sensuous. Sculptural as well as functional. The tremendous pressure exerted on the stainless tube has been captured almost frozen into a tall and slender vase that fuses rough material and soft form. Designer Isa Andersson’s Hydraulic stands out as a true solitaire that amplify the contrast between man-made form and blooming bouquets. Measures H25cm x W6cm.

A rigorous sculpture in its own right, Hydraulic will happily expose flowers of all kinds. Made from a tube that has been submitted to extreme forces, the vase is shaped in one material only. Hydraulic presents a unified yet artistically transformed shape with a strong narrative. ’Hydraulic is as much a vase as a sculpture,’ exclaims Margot Barolo, design manager at Design House Stockholm, ’While steel is usually associated with rough masculinity, the soft deformed base adds a different story, Hydraulic is a real fusion of a design.’ The solid heft of the vase will let it stand securely, and it will adorn any space with or without flowers. Use Hydraulic to expose decorative arrangements, or let it shine in its own right.
