The New Old Vase by KIMU Design

台湾的KIMU Design创作了一款名为“The New Old Vase”的花瓶。花瓶的设计模糊了东西方传统花瓶的边界，线性结构精彩的表达出融合东西文化之后的意境。在东方，花艺强调优雅，即便是微观的盆景，甚至一石一木也能构筑出禅意世界。而西方的花艺重于强调浪漫，展示植物的生机与活力，再现户外植物的茂盛。


“The New Old Vase”是一个拥有传统花瓶的形体，但是结构仅为线性框架的花瓶。此外花瓶还配有一个木质的插座，放在顶部或者底部都可以。搭配植物，呈现出万种风情。


She tells a story describing a different worldview of the East and West.


The vase occupies a pre-eminent position in home culture of both the East and West. Eastern floriculture emphasizes elegance, incorporating a miniature world view among flowers and plants; even dead wood and fractured stones can symbolize a kind of Zen natural world. Western floriculture highlights romance, embracing the thriving and living explosive energy that it entails. Western floriculture further accentuates and reproduces the flirtatious expressions of the outdoors: resembling one corner in a garden, or a sea of daisy flowers at the base of the Alps in the height of summer.


The New Old Vase disassociates itself from traditional flower ware having an inherent volume, leaving only a linear structure that blurs the cultural imagery of traditional vases of the East and West. Positioning a receptacle redesigned to one crafted from wood transforms the cultural imagery of the object: Place the wooden flower ware on top of the linear framework and flowers and plants are free to unfold in the same manner as the outgoing broad-mindedness cultural values of the Western world.


Move the wooden flower ware to the bottom of the linear framework and a miniature world is seen, the outer framework reminds one of a 3D coordinate system surrounding the greenery within.
