Flower Vase #2 by Shiro Kuramata
$1,750.00
Description:
“My strongest desire is to be free of gravity, free of bondage. I want to float."
- Shiro Kuramata
Flower Vase #2 (1989)- A study in restraint and illusion, this piece pairs a clear glass tube for a single stem, suspended within a pink-tinted acrylic block. The result is a quiet, floating composition where transparency, light, and material converge. Drawing from both Japanese sensibility and a touch of surrealism, it reflects Kuramata’s enduring interest in forms that feel weightless, refined, and just slightly otherworldly.
For this item, we only have 1 Flower Vase #2 available.
Measurements:
8.5 in H × 4.25 in W × 4.25 in D
History:
Born in 1934, Kuramata was a pioneering figure in post-war Japanese design, transforming the global perception of Japanese aesthetics. Inspired by his studies in architecture and cabinet making, his works blended traditional Japanese craftsmanship with industrial materials like Plexiglass, aluminum, and steel mesh. Kuramata’s exploration of Eastern and Western influences defined his unique sensibility, and can be seen in iconic creations such as his How High the Moon armchair and Miss Blanche chair.
