Designer
"Flower Vase #2" designed by Shiro Kuramata in 1989, manufactured by Ishimaru Co., Ltd., Japan.
This iconic piece by Japanese designer Shiro Kuramata perfectly illustrates his ability to blend Japanese minimalism with the playful spirit of postmodernism. A key figure in the international design scene of the 1980s and a prominent member of the Memphis movement, Kuramata is renowned for his sculptural creations that often challenge traditional notions of functionality.
Made of tinted acrylic and glass, "Flower Vase #2" consists of a transparent cubic block into which a glass tube is inserted, creating a subtle interplay of material, light, and transparency. The whole evokes a delicate and poetic architecture, where formal rigor meets the lightness of a suspended flower.
Manufacturer: Ishimaru Co., Ltd., Japan, 1989.
Bibliography: Shiro Kuramata, Essays and Writings, Power Publications, 2013; model held in the permanent collection of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
