# Contemporary Layered Carafes Beeq Vases by Vrouyr Joubanian Merge Past and Future Design By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-04-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeq-vases-by-vrouyr-joubanian References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/04/05/a-take-on-the-caraf/) Some of the most compelling design concepts are a result of reinterpreting old forms with new materials and technologies, and this is what can be taken out of these Beeq vases by Vrouyr Joubanian. The classic form of Lebanese water jugs is given new life in this collection of [3D-rendered receptacles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1), born of an entirely divergent method of molding. The [colorful carafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sungai-carafe) are to be made of panels of [DuPont](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foam-sealant) Corian plastic, carefully cut to match the form of the flasks' vertical or horizontal cross sections, and pressed together to prevent the escape of the liquid inside. Providing a range of vibrant possibilities within each striped vessel, these Beeq vases by Vrouyr Joubanian demonstrate how age-old artifacts adapt to changing times. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Contemporary Vase Design:** Designers are reinterpreting old forms with new materials and technologies. - **3D Printing in Product Design:** Beeq vases are created using 3D rendering and printed with DuPont Corian plastic panels. - **Sustainable Product Design:** DuPont Corian plastic is a durable and recyclable material, making it a good option for sustainable product design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Product Design:** Designers are exploring new materials and technologies to reinterpret old forms and create innovative products. - **3D Printing:** 3D printing technology is being used to create complex and unique designs like the Beeq vases. - **Plastics Industry:** DuPont Corian plastic is a versatile and sustainable material that can be used in product design and construction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nordic-Inspired Glass Blown Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fab-vase.md) - [Sculptural Glass Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navazi.md) - [Dynamic Colorful Glass Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilion-set.md) - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Anamorphic Fuzzy Glowing Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-vases.md) - [Nature-Inspired Colorful Glass Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anemona.md) - [Delicate Colorful Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-colorful-vase.md) - [Mouth-Blown Glass Hydro Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydro-glass-vase.md) - [Ceramic Waste Carafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sungai-carafe.md)
