The 'FACEVASE' is the design work of [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etsy-house) retailer MitekArtStudio and draws inspiration from Rubin's vase to create a hyper-custom piece of decor for a consumer home.

The vase is [3D printed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1) and can be customized with the silhouette outline of your choice, which could include your face or that of a friends. The vase creates an [optical illusion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical) that appears as a traditional decor item, but will reveal two horizontal facial profiles facing one another when viewed against a solid background.

The 'FACEVASE' comes in several size options to suit different consumer preferences and comes in an array of colors including a glow-in-the-dark style. The customized design of the vase speaks to an increased demand for personalized decor products.
