Due to the weight of the KG 15 vase, Daniela Drescher sought a suitable carrying solution: a bag that could be produced easily, simply and smartly. Her T15 combines logic and visual perception. ‘I enjoy tinkering,’ admits the designer. She approached the initial design with a compass, set square and a sheet of paper. The key idea ultimately came from Josef Albers’ Saturn lamp. For this, the painter and Bauhaus teacher chose the economical shape of a circle, which he transformed from a sheet of paper into a three-dimensional object. Daniela Drescher followed this idea, took up the shape of the vase, divided the circle into sixths and eight rings, creating a honeycomb pattern. These are punched out of high-quality leather and envelop the vase like a dress. A sculptural ensemble. KG 15 and T15 show how economical forms, clear geometries and sustainable materiality together create a new, visible order.

Fans of geometry will find the KG 15 vase a revelation, while lovers of natural compositions made from branches and flowers will consider it a gift. ‘I’m more of a shrub person,’ says designer Dominik Kirgus, ‘but normal vases can’t hold these larger branches.’ His KG 15 vase is slim, sculptural and weighs around 15 kilograms. When empty, it remains discreetly in the background, but when combined with a plant, it unfolds its full effect. Even with heavy branches, it remains unshakeable. Dominik Kirgus was inspired by block steel when designing it. A powder coating makes the vase a real pleasure to hold. A hole with a radius of four centimetres and a depth of around 25 centimetres makes it suitable for water-hungry flowers and branches. ‘You can’t design a more sustainable vase,’ he emphasises.
