Inspired by the art of ikebana, the Kenzan vase takes the form of a bud ready to bloom, whose flower placed in its center symbolizes its flowering. Composed of curved beech stems serving as tutors, their free arrangements allow to adapt to the plant they support.
Dyed in the mass, the matte porcelain brings out the details of the plant while creating a contrast with the water it contains. The color of the porcelain also plays this role.

We are living in a singular era where private and public spaces are intertwined. Sound is an omnipresent element in our daily lives and yet its value often goes unnoticed. Walking through the door, coming home, is a transformative event. Onde allows us to establish a sound ritual, like a sort of gong of passage. "I am home". Intended as an artefact bearing the 'marks' of our time, the manufacture links ancestral know-how linked to bronze with modern manufacturing processes. An object that materialises the transition, a vacuum pocket, singing, thanks to the acoustic properties of bronze
