to come to bodkin's defence i think his are perfectly reasonable criticisms. it is up to the designer to communicate how the object is meant to be used, and since stackable vases are not a product we normally see it'd be nice if Oscar gave some instructions. is it meant to be unused most of the time and kept stacked as an art object? it's not clear

i think this design is nice but has a problem you see quite frequently in designs that try and make the 'stored' version of a product look better: when you disassemble it the concept is lost. then you just have three coloured vases with little of the appeal of the 3 together.

I'd also not buy it until I'd seen it under normal light. There's nothing here to indicate that the glass would look so impressive outside of a photographer's studio

I always love when a specific aspect of an object is taken and introduced to other objects specific aspects to create something that is greater then each aspect alone. The purple color or (P242) is astonishingly beautiful.

…. and just to be a pain in the butt, I’d like to mention that the flat roof of Corbusier’s Villa Savoye leaked like buggery and drove the owners out.

It is however an architectural masterpiece.

Touche.

No Bodkin,

you can put flowers in this vase.
But that’s not what’s intersting about this vase.

Open your eyes for God’s sake.

my wife cares if you can’t put flowers in a vase and i care if calenders don’t tell you what day it is. is this really hate?

if hate is not liking someone trying to present something that does not work then i embrace your description. otherwise you may need to consult a dictionary.

i can’t wait to present my next architectural scheme to my clients on your basis of what makes a good design, i’m sure they’ll be most pleased when the roof leaks, the stairs don’t go up and the doors won’t open. at least it will look nice and we can all congratulate ourselves on how good the design was
