An Object-like Vase That Invites a Sense of Wonder Through the Refraction of Light
At the 2019 Milan Salone, Louis Vuitton unveiled the new "Blossom Vase" in collaboration with designer Tokujin Yoshioka.
The Monogram Flower, a symbol of the Maison's heritage, has been transformed into an organic object by Tokujin Yoshioka, renowned for his innovative designs.
This vase is handcrafted by Murano glass artisans in Italy, with thick glass shaped by hand into a swirling form. The refraction of light from the twisted glass creates a unique expression, resulting in a sculptural piece adorned with radiance.
Available in clear and black. It can be enjoyed as a vase or as a standalone decorative object.
Blossom Vase
Dimensions | 30cm x 16cm x 16cm (Width x Height x Depth)
Material | Murano blown glass
