A vessel that holds more than one thing, open on both ends – moves and finds its balance again and again.

Inspired by the fluid curves of the Malayalam alphabet, Vessel embodies the idea that language itself serves as a vessel. A steel tube bends to form a singular loop with two open ends. If the flower on one end droops, it moves and regains its balance gracefully, reflecting the journey of those of us who have moved away from our homes, seeking to find our balance again and again.

Vessel brings poetry and movement to your tabletop, adapting to your arrangement, whether delicately balancing between stalks of flowers on either end or forming a dramatic asymmetry with blooms on just one side. It invites us to reflect on the relationships between language, culture, and the objects we surround ourselves with.

Bending steel to express finding softness in hard materials has been a recurring theme in soft-geometry’s practice. Vessel is the first of a series of sculptural vases that will emerge from the exploration of the Malayalam script, each telling a story through form.

Collaborative studio exploring softness in furniture and home objects

Soft-geometry, established in 2019 by Indian designers Utharaa L Zacharias and Palaash Chaudhary, creates collectible furniture and objects that serve as poignant reflections on the universal yearning for softness in an often harsh world. With the narrative backdrop of Zacharias and Chaudhary’s own experiences of living and working between cultures in India and the US, soft-geometry’s objects explore the suspension between contemporary geometries and ritualistic hand-building inspired by Indian craft traditions.

Graduates of the Savannah College of Art & Design, Zacharias and Chaudhary started their collaborative practice after completing their Masters in Furniture and Industrial Design, respectively. Their unique pursuit of softness, intersecting contemporary design with a uniquely Indian narrative, has garnered recognition, including the acquisition of their work by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to their Permanent Collection, being named in Wallpaper Magazine's USA 300 List, Forbes India's 30 Under 30, Phaidon’s Woman-Made, and inclusion in Sight Unseen's American Design Hot List.
