Mantelpiece's The Vase Blends Elegance with Function

— April 2, 2025 — Art & Design
Mantelpiece has introduced The Vase, a dual-purpose and vintage-inspired home object that seamlessly blends decorative elegance with discreet functionality as a water pipe. Designed to be displayed openly rather than concealed, this patent-pending piece features separate chambers — one caters to floral arrangements while the other accommodates smoking.

Mantelpiece draws on the design sensibilities of the Art Deco, mid-century modern, and 1970s design movements for its vintage-inspired home object. The Vase caters to the needs and preferences of design-conscious consumers who appreciate both form and function.

Mantelpiece limits the first edition of The Vase to 500 individually numbered units. The production of the piece incorporates recycled materials and eco-conscious packaging. The company also pledges to support the Last Prisoner Project, a cannabis criminal justice reform nonprofit, with its proceeds.
