Courbe Vase

Press Kit

Unique Properties

Breaking through the original metal bending technology that can only bending sheet metal, by designing different shapes of molds and combining existing bending processing tools, tubular metal can also be bent.
The innovative processing method can bend and clamp two tubular metal pipes at the same time and combine them without any welding technology.
The beautiful curvy shape produced by bending the two pipes which is one pipe within another pipe, become a unique flower vase and also can be a diffuser bottle.

Production Technology

During the production process, the design and manufacturing team worked hard, because the thickness and strength of different metal pipes will cause many variables in the clamping method, and the difference in the clamping operation point will also cause completely different results. Therefore, the entire experiment The working hours with the trial production exceeded 1,200 hours.

Design Challenge

The fragrance diffused vase exists as quietly as a sculpture. Its simple lines and elegant posture make it impossible to look away from it. Its structure is simple at first glance, but there are no solder joints in the metal pipe, and it is only fixed by the clamping and bending method. In addition to the beauty of each diffused vase, it also contains the brand's uncompromising, breakthrough and pursuit of perfection. The vase can hold essential oils and spread out the favorite scent by spreading the incense sticks. It can also be used as an exquisite flower vessel to provide a beautiful experience for the senses.

Project Duration

2019 First public display at Dubai Design Week
Dubai Downtown design week
2020,Dec. Officially Launched.

Operation Flow

In addition to large, medium and small bending craft flowers, they can be regarded as independent art items, after adding diffused branches and essential oils, it can be even more simple diffuser bottle.

Research

Try to study traditional laser cutting metal processing methods, are there other new possibilities? And hope to be able in combination with new technical methods, it can make traditional metal crafts have artistic value and make people understand metal crafts Have a new imagination in the modern living space.
method:
1. By understanding the processing limitations of metal cutting and trying to break through.
2. Introduce new technology, the laser welding process breaks through metal deformation limits.
3. Design combined with natural imagery and produce craftsmanship Sculpture with art.

Inspiration

Taking the traditional sheet metal bending process as the starting point, finding ways to break through the traditional limitation on bending sheet metal technique, different shapes and materials taking into account to search for new dimension on metal bending technology in order to create new shape and form, tubular metal were tried.
