The Delta vase is the most famous example of Van Schijndel's preference for the triangular shape. He developed various prototypes: Punt, Double, Triple, and Delta. The Delta model was eventually launched in 1981. Unlike other glass vases, this vase is not made of blown glass, but composed of three glass plates glued together with silicone sealant. A corner has been cut off each rectangular plate. The minimalist simplicity of the widely plagiarized Delta Vase brought him international recognition. In 1984, Van Schijndel won the '5th Arango International Design Contest Glass That Works' in Miami with Delta. The vase is part of several museum collections, including those of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and Boijmans Van Beuningen Rotterdam.
‘The architect Mart Van Schijndel became, without consciously aiming for it, one of the most successful self-producing designers. In 1981, he exhibited his Delta Vase, composed of three rectangular pieces of glass, for the first time at Galerie Hans Appenzeller in Amsterdam.'
