Gaia vase by Arturo Erbsman
The name GAIA expresses its origin - 'from the earth' and is inspired by the earliest form of Japanese Ikebana style called Tatehana, or “standing flowers”.
GAIA is a contemporary shallow vase designed to receive one or several single stem flowers in a unique arrangement. Carefully sculpted in a capsule shape from a single block of soft pink onyx, it is also available in Carrara marble. The vase comes with eleven holes that differ in diameter and has superficial chambers for each stem. Focusing on shape and line, simplicity and nature GAIA is an exquisite centerpiece for your everyday rituals.
Due to their natural origin (onyx and marble), variations may exist and are to be embraced, making each vase truly one of a kind.
Materials: Pink onyx. Also available in Carrara marble
Dimensions: W36 x D10 x H4 cm
Arturo Erbsman is a French designer whose works reflect different points of intersection between manufactured objects and the four elements of nature. He focuses on showing the delicacy of distinct aspects of water like ice, snow, stalactites, condensation and vapor in his handmade lighting objects.
He derives his source of inspiration from his faraway travels and from closely observing natural phenomena of everyday life.
