comments: the bonsai-equilibre is an interesting design for a vase. scrap pieces of wood and corrugate are cut into various sized circles and then have a smaller circle cut into them. these circles are placed on top of each other and the glass tube slides through the smaller circles. this allows the vase to be free standing. i love that waste materials are being up cycled for this design, but I also love the color and scale of these pieces. even more interesting is that the end user can reconfigure this vase by changing the order of the circles and my swinging them around. on top of all that, the packaging is beautiful too. nice.
