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.
"My aim is to endow these markers with a life of their own, a rhythm, a synergy between intuition, rectitude and pragmatism," said Ruyant. "Linking together opposites is a way of comforting my own relation to reality."
Implications - Homeowners are increasingly looking to adorn their interior spaces with modern decor that reflects aspects of their personality.
