The Design

About Leaf Tall Plorera

Ang kinaiyahan kusog nga naporma sa Leaf Tall nga plorera nga gihimo sa Pranses nga tigdesinyo nga si Pierre Foulonneau. Ang plorera nag-uban sa kristal ug metal sa usa ka balaknon nga disenyo diin ang usa ka bulawan nga dahon naglingkod sa usa ka transparent nga pedestal. Ang mga resulta mao ang usa ka plorera nga adunay dili mausab nga natural nga presensya, bisan kung walay sulod. Ug, sa panahon sa bulak, ang metal nga bahin naglihok ingon usa ka sudlanan alang sa pagtimbaya ug pagpakita sa presko nga mga bulak.

Unique Properties: The Leaf vase is a crystal vase holding a metal leaf shaped part. The metal leaf give the object an unalterable natural presence, even when empty. Seated in its transparent pedestal, the leaf plays with light and reflections as they change along the day, bringing life into a poetic still life composition.
And, during flower season, the leaf acts as a receptacle for greeting and showcasing fresh flowers.
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimensions : H 32 x dia 12.5 cm
Tags: elegance, crafts, nature inspired, luxury, emotional, poetic
Production Technology: The vase is made of italian mouth blown crystal and the leaf is spun brass with silver, 24 carat gold, or nickel black platting finish.
Design Challenge: The spun brass part is very deep and therefore challenging to obtain. For the same reason the polishing was challenging too.
We also had to test several suppliers to find one that could deliver the challenging angular shapes of the glass part in a crystal clear finish that allows the leaf to appear inside the vase.
Research: The project originated with an observation : nature is fragile and fleeting; life comes and goes; dies and reborn, season after season.
Vases by their function are often used half of the year to display flowers and lies empty or hidden the other half.
I then set to research ways to create a vase that keeps evoking nature despite being empty and out of flower season.
Inspiration: My intention with the Leaf collection was to create objects that captures and mimic nature.
The metal leaf give the object an unalterable natural presence, even when empty.

By their design, the objects from the Leaf collection pay an homage to both Riva’s craftsmanship and the luxurious nature of Brazil.
Project Duration: Project began in September 2018 and was launched in February 2020.
The design was created in Nantes, France and the development and production happened in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Operation Flow: This design is a vase to be use as a decorative item for he home.
The leaf shaped metal part is placed on top of the crystal vase and act as a holder for fresh flowers.
