Referencing classic ceramic vases and ancient Greek vessels, the Hydro Vase makes a modern statement that incorporates the material properties and appeal of brass. Chosen beacause it can be shaped in ways that resemble iconic pottery, brass exudes even more character with a patina that will gradually emerge over time.
With Hydrom Copenhagen-based designer Sofie Osterby establishes an equilibrium between the visual impact of the brass and the shape itself. Hydro is cast by a small workshop in Portugal that has retained the ancient technique of creating traditional armour. The dark, almost black oxidized surface adds a subtle dimension to an enduring design that seems to dfy time. Culminating in a vase that doubles a decorative sculpture. Classic yet contemporary - and collectable.
