In case you haven’t noticed, designers are different. They see things differently. Ordinary things like vases become a challenge to provide more than just a container for greenery or flowers. French designer Frederic Ruyant designed these “bloody urban green” vases from ceramic which allows the greenery to become integral with the container. To become one, if you will.
Today, when designing, my aim is to endow those markers with a life of their own, a rhythm, a synergy between intuition, rectitude and pragmatism. I like mixing up codes : luxury references to make everyday life lovelier and to turn what is ordinary into ingenuine privilege. Linking together opposites is a way of comforting my own relation to reality: I enjoy twisting the neck of a vase, letting a stamp have its say, bringing people together. Then I re-create beyond the realm of life experience, of all possibilities.
