# Water Cyclone Vases The Tourbillon Vase Seems Inspired by Science Class Experiments By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourbillon-vase References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/tech/tourbillon.php) & [aplusacooren](http://www.aplusacooren.com/) Looking at the Tourbillon Vase, I can't help but think of my elementary school science class. Do you remember stirring a glass cylinder brimming with water, watching in amazement as a mini cyclone formed within? Seemingly inspired by those informative (and certainly more innocent) days, the French-Japanese design firm A + A Cooren has created this [stunning vessel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navazi). The Tourbillon Vase was actually created with the help of a computer program. Made out of [two borosilicate glass shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-glass-bottles), only 21 were created. Available in Paris at the [Gallery S. Bensimon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1), I'm sure you'll be desperate to get your hands on the limited edition Tourbillon Vase. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Borosilicate Glass Designs:** There is an opportunity for companies to explore innovative designs using borosilicate glass formation. - **Computer-aided Design for Functional Art:** Companies can invest in creating functional art pieces through the use of computer-aided design (CAD) technology. - **Natural Phenomenon-inspired Designs:** Designers can draw inspiration from natural phenomenon to create breathtakingly beautiful and unique products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Glass Manufacturing:** Glass companies can invest in borosilicate glass manufacturing to cater to the demand for unique design pieces. - **Product Design:** Designers can explore new possibilities in product design by incorporating CAD technology in the creative process. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can create a niche market by exploring designs inspired by natural phenomenons such as the water cyclone vase. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mouth-Blown Glass Hydro Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydro-glass-vase.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) - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Stackable Clay Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torre-vases.md) - [Floating Stem Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-effect-vase.md) - [Nordic-Inspired Glass Blown Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fab-vase.md) - [Sculptural Hand-Blown Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handblown-vase.md) - [Copper Tubular Minimal Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiroyuki-yuasa.md)
