Twee 2D Stem Holders

These Vanity Vases are Aesthetically Pleasing but Physically Insufficient

— July 11, 2012 — Art & Design
Stem holders are usually intended to be functional objects that double as decorations in their own right. These Vanity Vases flaunt a fetching irony in their difficulty to perform their task, in favor of appearing beautiful.

Sabrina Fossi has designed a pair of flower stands, one that takes a stout circular shape and another with a bulbous bottom and an elegant elongated neck. Both have very flat-looking forms, for in depth they are only about 1 centimeter thick. For this reason, neither can stand on its own so they need to be bolted against the wall above the shelf on which they sit.

The Vanity Vases are therefore also short on volume. Just one or two holes in the top of each one permits the placement of a single floral stem.
Trend Themes
1. Functional Decor - The trend of functional decor combines practicality and aesthetics, providing innovative opportunities to create unique and visually appealing products.
2. Flat Design - The flat design trend challenges traditional three-dimensional forms, presenting opportunities for creative and minimalist solutions.
3. Wall-mounted Accessories - The rise of wall-mounted accessories offers disruption in traditional product design, allowing for space-saving and visually striking solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The home decor industry can explore innovative designs that merge functionality and decorative appeal in unique ways, like the Vanity Vases.
2. Floral Arrangements - The floral arrangements industry can embrace the use of unconventional stem holders, such as the Vanity Vases, to create distinctive and eye-catching displays.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers can leverage the trend of wall-mounted accessories to offer clients space-saving solutions that also serve as decorative elements, like the Vanity Vases.
