Blumentasche is a handcrafted stainless steel vase by Ole Müller that rethinks floral display through a flat, perforated form. Produced in Bavaria, the rectangular object features a brushed stainless steel surface, a rounded carry handle and a grid of circular openings that support individual flower stems. The perforated structure exposes stems, leaves and branches as visible elements of the arrangement, encouraging compositions that extend across the entire surface rather than emerging only from the top of a conventional vase.
Each opening allows flowers to be positioned independently, giving users precise control over spacing, height and orientation. The rigid geometric grid contrasts with the organic growth of plants, producing arrangements that change as different stems and foliage are added. Its flat profile enables the object to function as both a sculptural decorative piece and a flower vessel, with the brushed stainless steel finish emphasizing the material without additional coatings or surface treatments.
