GEOM Vase
Vase made from seashell terrazzo & upcycled glass
GEOM collection is inspired by the Bauhaus movement and Suprematism. The objects’ unity lies in their representation of an incomplete circle, creating an opening to new possibilities. Designed to combine aesthetics and functionality, the GEOM Vase is composed of two elements: a cut glass bottle, which slips and fades into a block of contrasting shell terrazzo. It is made from revalued shells (oysters, mussels, scallops), a mineral binder, plant-based pigments and an upcycled glass bottle. Its slow manufacturing process ensures a unique quality and includes a drying process without energy-use.
