Milia Seyppel / My Bauhaus is Better Than Yours

from€1,500

The trouble with many modern edition vases is that sans fleurs, they look a little naked and forlorn on the mantelpiece. What's been lacking is a vase that's not afraid to go commando, which is why we were instantly enamoured when Milia Seyppel's buff ceramic series arrived at Wallpaper* HQ. Made of pigmented stoneware, the vases have a geometric elegance about them, and when grouped together, the resemblance to the silhouette of an industrial factory is striking -- which is appropriate given Seyppel's fondess for the mechanical form. So confident are these vases in their less is more approach that they don't even have a name. Clearly, roses are optional.
