Suspend Vase

INTERplay is a collection of home furnishings that come alive through touch and interaction. Each piece invites curiosity, designed to deepen the relationship between people and the objects they live with.

“Inspired by the Sekimori Ishi, My vase uses subtle communication to facilitate play. The multiple possibilities for display allow users to exercise agency and creativity. I aim to spark the same joy and curiosity as unwrapping a present.Sekimori Ishi: Japanese boundary stones that signal an off-limits pathway.”
