Still Life Flower Vase / Magma Stone
¥42,500
"Still Life Flower Vase" is part of the "Re-imagine project", in which disused materials are reborn as new products. Natural stone used as a material for interiors is always left over, but there was no use for the small scraps. "Still Life Flower Vase" makes the most of the beauty of the natural stone and reincarnates it as another product. Natural stone is a material created by the earth over a tremendous period of time. Naturally, these materials are a finite resource with limited reserves. This project aims to reuse previously unused leftover natural stones as products, preserving the inherent beauty of these resources for future generations and reminding people that these resources are limited and precious. This piece is a very simple structure made only from up-cycled stone, glass and brass. All these materials are sustainable and reusable. The brass parts are inserted into holes in the stone and fixed with brass nuts from the other side. The glass tubes containing fresh plants are placed against the decadent crushed stone, evoking the transience and preciousness of natural stone, a finite material. This is a collaborative piece between Indonesian and Japanese craftsmen. The stone base is made from up-cycled leftover interior stone materials from Indonesia, which is then reworked into a cube shape by a stonemason and the top is then broken into a shape using a special process. The brass parts are handcrafted one by one by brass craftsmen in a small, old factory in Japan, using highly skilled techniques to cast, weld, and polish the pieces. The types, patterns, and colors of the stones used are all different, and because they are made from leftover stone, each piece is unique. Stone: About H100mm W55mm D55mm Glass tube: L150mm D25mm Material: Magma Stone, Brass, Glass
