This striking glass vase from the Belgian design label Serax combines sculptural form with functional sophistication and exemplifies the company's modern, artistic style. Serax has been collaborating with international designers since the 1980s, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design aspirations.
The vase is made of lightly tinted, smoky glass with a gently gradient of transparency that shifts between warm gray and subtle olive hues depending on the light. The organically curved body appears softly sculpted and its lines are reminiscent of classic mid-century forms, yet this is deliberately disrupted by the irregularly placed openings in the upper section.
These perforations not only lend the vase a graphic lightness but also open up new possibilities for display: individual branches or flowers can be carefully guided and arranged, creating almost sculptural, architectural compositions. The asymmetrical opening underscores the artistic character and clearly elevates the object from a purely functional vessel to a design piece.
Due to its size and presence, the vase is suitable both as a standalone piece on sideboards or tables and as part of a curated grouping of modern glass objects.
Condition: Very good condition with slight, age-related signs of wear and occasional inclusions in the glass, typical of mouth-blown glass. No cracks or chips.
Dimensions: L18 x W15 x H34 cm
