Ikebana Vase - Vases & Vessels

Unavailable

Inspired by Ikebana, the ancient Japanese art of flower arrangement. Ike, meaning “alive” or “arrange” and bana meaning ‘flower’ Ikebana is an art form that aims to challenge the western habits of casually placing flowers in a vase. The pattern of the circular openings located on the base and lid of the vase were inspired by a Yayoi Kusama painting called Infinity Dots. The vase has a number of circular openings which are strategically placed to create dynamic flowers arrangements, celebrating colour, form and scale.

Unlike traditional ikebana vases, the circular openings are wider allowing for display of small individual bunches instead of a single stem.
The Vase also celebrates materiality and comes in a variety of finishes from electro plated steel, polished stainless steel, brass coated steel and clay.

Minimalism, Simplicity, Shape + Form

Dean Norton develops products that consider form, function, refined detailing and harmony in materials. Drawing inspiration from a number of contemporary Influences, he strives to create enduring pieces that connect on an emotional level, merging a balance between art and design whilst maintaining a minimalist design aesthetic.

Born and raised in Essex, England, Dean originally studied graphic design before continuing his journey as an interior designer, graduating in 2008 with a bachelor of arts degree (Hons) in Retail Interior Design from The University of Arts London.

As a part of working on small and large scale interior design briefs across the UK, Europe and Australia, he often designed custom pieces specifically for his clients which eventually inspired him to develop his skills further in furniture and object design.

Now based in Melbourne, Dean launched his own design practice in 2017 with an ethos to create authentic locally made pieces.
