Description
This cast aluminium vase is formed as a continuous swirl that folds in on itself, creating an organic ribbon-like shape with a matt silver finish across the entire surface. The casting process leaves a fine texture visible across the aluminium, while the antique finishing treatment creates subtle tonal variation between the raised and recessed areas of the swirl. The vase measures 37cm wide by 26cm tall with a 12cm depth, making it a substantial decorative object rather than a functional vessel.
Designed as a centrepiece for console tables, sideboards and dining tables, the vase works as a sculptural accent in contemporary, transitional and industrial interiors where metal finishes are already present. The organic form softens harder geometric furniture lines, while the matt silver finish sits neutrally alongside chrome, brushed nickel, stainless steel and darker gunmetal tones. The hollow interior and open top can hold dried stems or branches for display, but the vase is not watertight and cannot hold fresh flowers or liquids.
The 1.8kg weight gives the piece enough presence to sit securely on a surface without needing to be fixed in place. The antique finish means the aluminium will not tarnish or oxidise over time as bare aluminium would, and the matt surface resists visible fingerprints better than polished metal. The swirl pattern is asymmetric, so the vase can be rotated to present different profiles depending on the viewing angle.

Frequently Asked
Can this vase hold water or fresh flowers?
No. The vase is cast aluminium with seams and is not watertight. It is designed as a decorative object and can hold dried stems, branches or artificial arrangements, but cannot hold liquids or fresh flowers that require water.
Is the finish lacquered or will it tarnish?
The antique finish is applied during manufacturing and protects the aluminium from oxidising or tarnishing over time. The matt surface is more resistant to visible fingerprints than polished metal, though it can be wiped clean with a dry microfibre cloth if needed.
What size surface does it need?
The vase has a 37cm width and 12cm depth footprint. It suits console tables, sideboards, dining tables or mantelpieces with at least 50cm of clear horizontal space to accommodate the full width without overhanging edges.
Is the vase food-safe for serving?
No. The vase is treated with a decorative finish and is not rated as food-safe. It should not be used to hold or serve food or beverages.
