Unique Properties: Tre Parole is a vase which consists of three metal tubes and an acrylic piece.
I sought a simple shape with a smart structure and a way of showing flowers in an elegant way. And presenting three flowers stands for three words, " I Love You".
This iconic object suits interiors of houses, shops, restaurants, hotels, and theatres in harmony.
Dimensions & Packaging: Size: W120 H250 D120 mm
Tags: Product, Vase, Flower, Decoration, Home, Geometric, Simple, Elegant, Aesthetic, Metal, Acrylic
Production Technology: Materials: steel, acrylic
Design Challenge: After I came up with the shape and structure of this vase, I took a long time and explored the materials for it, and I ended up choosing metal pipes and an an acrylic vase that were unexpected for me, but I was surprised by the harmony of aesthetics those materials created and they suit flowers very well.
Research: I wanted to bring aesthetics of modern architecture design to an interior accessory.
So, I researched about modern architecture design, and I have become interested in its aesthetics of combining simplest geometric forms.
Inspiration: I was inspired by furniture with smart structures, and the meanings of the numbers of flowers.
I also sought an elegant way of presenting flowers, and an aesthetic and architectural combination of geometric forms.
Project Duration: Tre Parole was developed in Milan.
This work was exhibited in London Design Festival in September 2013, and Milan Design Week in April 2014.
Operation Flow: This vase is combined by three pipes and a base in a unique way without any joints. Its structure might look unstable and fragile, but it is actually pretty strong enough, and it doesn't break by being shaken.
