Frustration-Relieving Vases

Introverso 2 Reveals Its Dual Personality with Blunt Force

— April 21, 2014 — Art & Design
It is common to see actors whip a vase across a room in frustration on television shows and movies and now people can enjoy the same satisfaction in a more purposeful way with Introverso 2. It is a dual personality vase that comes in a modern rectangular shape. Yet with the blunt force of a couple hammer hits, Introverso 2 reveals a more traditional curvaceous shape.

Designed by Paolo Ulian and Moreno Ratti, Introverso 2 is made out of solid marble. Yet the surface has been cut to reveal slats. These slats easily chip away when hit with a hammer in order to form the new shape. Fun and interactive, the Introverso 2 vase would make a stylish addition to any home.

1. Dual Personality Products - The Introverso 2 vase showcases the potential for products to have multiple functions or appearances, providing users with a unique and interactive experience.
2. Interactive Home Decor - The Introverso 2 vase exemplifies the growing trend of home decor items that offer an interactive and engaging element, appealing to consumers seeking more than just aesthetics.
3. Multi-material Design - The use of solid marble and the incorporation of slats in the Introverso 2 vase highlight the trend of combining different materials to create visually striking and versatile products.
Industry Implications

3. Artisanal Craftsmanship - The craftsmanship and materiality of the Introverso 2 vase open up possibilities for artisans and craftsmen to experiment with unconventional materials and techniques to create distinctive and customizable products.
