The Life Vase has a special connection with the living plant you place in it. Within its glass embrace, the vase holds an abstract array of veins that turns to a different color when it detects a plant has been rested inside of it. Beautiful in its simplicity, it makes you realize the fragility of life.
Designed by Kim Joonmin, the veins of the Life Vase begin white and then turn red when they feel the sun and the presence of the flower. The shape of the Life Vase itself is pretty atypical as well, as it's stout and oval. More like an art piece than anything else, the Life Vase really adds that special touch to one's living space.
