Well kept: Vases that can do without flowers

These vases are (almost) better than the bouquets they are intended to hold. Some of them also pay tribute to current design trends.

Flowing shapes

If you're scrolling through our selection of vases and think that some decorative vases are melting away, you're not entirely wrong. Many of the models currently available on the market seem to be melting. These include designs from the brands Sheyn, Kodanska and Hübsch. Flowing shapes create a dynamic that magically attracts the eye.

Hot metals

Hot metals are currently playing a minor role in interiors. According to Pinterest, 2024 will be all about cool metals - stainless steel, chrome and aluminium. The stainless steel designer pieces from Philippi and Georg Jensen come in handy. The material gives the vases a refreshing shimmer. Bring the trend into your home with these models.

Checkerboard patterns

Checkerboard patterns are increasingly adorning furniture, textiles, floors and decorations at the moment. So it's no surprise that vases are among them. This is because the grid makes even simply shaped models a lot more exciting. It's perfect for bringing new life into the interior without a bunch of flowers.

Circle drawing

I hardly know what to call one of the more unusual design trends at the moment: Hollow circles or rings, which are being used as a design element in accessories and furniture. For example, the ceramic objects from the brands Boltze Home, Kaemingk and Lund-Stougaard have several round recesses that not only serve as handles but also as jewellery.

Blobs of colour

Stain patterns have also taken the surfaces of vases by storm. Perhaps because they lend structure to boring surfaces. Perhaps because they give vessels - with or without flowers - a splash of colour. In any case, the vases from Hay, Micasa and House Doctor have a multi-layered character that makes them eye-catchers.

Chunky design

The vases from Eglo, Boltze Home and Woood initially appear unexciting. But a closer look reveals that they are defined by their silhouette rather than their pattern or colour. The beautiful curves may make the vessels look a little rough, but they also make them recognisable.
