Kontur vase - White

Experimental Organic Vase

This is the story of an experiment with paper that ended up on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. With its soft, flexible material Kontur is a perfect vase for a small bundle of freshly cut flowers.

Mette Kargo Hvid explains

Kontur springs from my background as a textile designer and represents the concept of a simple, flexible vase, inspired by the intricate ornamentation of lace. I find it interesting to apply my expertise intextiles in alternative ways - and at the same time reflect upon the multifaceted potential afforded by the old craftsmanship traditions. Kontur is designed in silicone rubber because this material, as well as being an alternative to ceramics, gives Kontur a surprisingly soft touch while imbuing it with a simple, informal character.
