HOUBI's VITA Vase Frames Flowers from Bloom to Falling Petals

Studio HOUBI, based in London and headed by designer Habib Chatti, has introduced the VITA Vase, a ceramic piece that honors the entire journey of flowers, from their vibrant bloom to the moment petals drop. Its elegantly curving shape is designed to accommodate delicate, flexible stems, which can either arch downward or reach upward for light. As petals descend, they integrate into the overall aesthetic rather than marking an end. Crafted in Portugal from glazed earthenware, the VITA Vase comes in five striking shades: Poppy Red, Viridescent Green, Sky Blue, Micha Orange, and Cobalt Blue, inspired by life’s essential elements—blood, chlorophyll, water, sunlight, and space. The design highlights resilience and the beauty found in every phase, including those often ignored. This project was submitted to designboom's DIY submissions and edited by Christina Vergopoulou.
