Designer Jane Heng's vases serve more than one purpose. While the ceramic containers can be used to store flowers, they can also hold one's jewelry, making them the perfect addition to bedside tables.
Heng is based in Cambodia where she learned about the country's traditional approach to handicraft techniques. These techniques are reflected in the pieces which include rustic pale blue coloring, hand-shaped items and containers featuring a series of holes accommodating stems and petals.
While these items were made to store jewelry alongside bulbs, they can nonetheless be used to store just about anything that fits in the round cylinders. Given their small, sleek shapes, they will also make for dainty household additions to be placed in bathrooms, kitchens and living room spaces.
