Postmodern Daskas Amsterdam "V" Plate Glass Vase by Rob Dashorst, c. 1990s

About the Item

An exceptional and highly collectible vintage postmodern geometric art glass sculpture vase, designed by Rob Dashorst for Daskas Amsterdam, circa 1990s. Captured beautifully in photos, this architectural piece is a masterful example of late 20th-century Dutch Design, challenging conventional form through a complex arrangement of UV-bonded plate glass planes. Crafted from heavy, high-quality glass with a fine, micro-fluted or relief-pressed textured finish, the piece is composed of parallel vertical sheets that suspend a dramatic, clean V-shaped interior glass well designed to function as the vessel's core flower container. Sharing a strong stylistic lineage with Mart van Schijndel’s iconic 1981 "Delta" vase—the revolutionary design that pioneered constructing three-dimensional vessels out of silicone-joined flat glass plates—as well as the high-end industrial minimalism of Fontana Arte, this vase relies on pure geometry. The brilliant engineering catches ambient light across its textured surfaces, highlighting the crisp, polished green-tinted edges characteristic of premium Dutch bonded art glass. In excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or structural flaws, this substantial vase stands as a powerful, minimalist statement piece that brings avant-garde architectural gravitas to any post-modern interior, pedestal, or mantle display. The New York Sensation: Dashorst began selling the "V" vase locally, but it quickly transformed into an international design success story. The piece notably served as the catalyst that launched Kikkerland Design—the famous global contemporary design brand. Sold-Out Status: Upon making its transatlantic debut in the early 1990s, Dashorst's architectural vase completely sold out of high-end design and museum stores across New York City, cementing its status as a definitive postmodern collectible.
