Sphere Vase

The visual language of Nicolas Woll's Sphere Vase operates through a sophisticated interplay of symbolic resonances that position these objects as mediators between the technological and the organic, the contemporary and the archetypal, the ribbed surface pattern may be understood as referencing natural forms including seed pods, gourds, and certain marine organisms, embedding associations of fertility, growth cycles, and the abundance of nature within domestic space, the bulbous silhouette itself carries cross-cultural symbolic weight recalling the vessel as one of humanity's oldest and most universal artifacts, containers that historically held sustenance, sacred substances, and precious materials, the neutral earth-toned colorway operates semiotically as a signifier of naturalness, groundedness, and authentic materiality in contrast to artificial or synthetic color choices, the leather cord detail functions as an indexical sign of artisanal making, introducing connotations of handcraft, individual attention, and human touch even within potentially technology-assisted production, the graduated scale of the trio suggests familial relationship and narrative sequence, perhaps evoking stages of growth or the archetypal grouping of three that appears across mythological and folkloric traditions as a symbol of completeness and dynamic balance, compositionally the triangular arrangement creates stable geometry while the asymmetry of the dried botanical arrangement introduces organic counterpoint, the dried flowers themselves carry symbolic associations of preserved beauty, the passage of time gracefully accepted, and the aesthetic appreciation of natural cycles including dormancy and renewal, together these elements construct an object narrative that speaks to contemporary desires for domestic environments that feel connected to nature, rooted in craft traditions, and possessed of quiet beauty that rewards sustained attention.

Sphere is a vase designed for fresh flowers, dried flowers and use as a room fragrance diffuser. The outer surface combines deep grooves and clear lines to create a depth effect that changes with the viewing angle and the incidence of light. Sphere is 3D printed from bio-based PLA, and each vase takes between 5 and 15 hours to produce, depending on size. A waterproof inner container, also 3D printed, is made of recyclable polypropylene. Production uses self-generated solar electricity. Sphere is offered in three sizes.
