Ole Müller's Blumentasche: A Bag-Like Stainless Steel Vase Redefines Flower Arranging
Ole Müller, a designer from Germany, has introduced Blumentasche, an artistic flower vase that mimics the appearance of a stainless steel tote bag. Crafted in Bavaria and conceived in Dresden, this piece has dimensions of 330 × 250 × 40 millimeters, showcasing a flat rectangular shape, a rounded handle, and a brushed metal surface. Rather than serving as a conventional container, it features a meticulous grid of circular holes that allows flower stems to emerge from both sides. This design emphasizes the arrangement process, contrasting the rigid grid with the organic nature of plant growth. Each floral display transforms into a distinct work of art, merging the qualities of a vase, sculpture, and floral showcase. The project is captured through the photography of Sabine Boger and Amos Fricke.
