Decha Archjananun’s Weight Vases developed at ECAL
Published on September 13, 2016
What is a vase? How does it work?
Those were simple questions Decha Archjananun asked herself for this historical object which was created since Neolithic period.
She found that, all the vases in the world have a same basic principle to hold flowers.
There are 2 important parts which function differently. Top part (vase-mount), has a duty to hold flower stem and base part, to hold water and also offer a stability to the vase.
“Weight” brings a new perspective on a vase design by the separation of 2 different parts which support each other.
Water container made of concrete pile-up on a steel piece to give a stability for holding flowers. In the collection, there are 4 vases for different flower setting from single flower to flowers panel.
Decha developed the project while studying at the ECAL (University of Art and Design Lausanne) in 2011. For Specimen Editions.
