V4 vases by
Seung-Yong Song

London Design Festival: delicate flowers and foliage are protected by the steel cages around these concrete vases by Korean designer Seung-Yong Song.

The V4 collection comprises four differently shaped vases, each with a thin walnut base.

“Lightness and heaviness, lines and lumps, smoothness and roughness, coldness and warmth – all materials and forms balance through the course of colliding and confronting within one volume,” says Song.

The vases were showcased by design company Design To Do at the 100% Design trade show during the recent London Design Festival, as part of an exhibition organised by the Korea Institute for Design Promotion.

We previously featured a collection of furniture by Song, which included chairs that double as ladders, beds or rocking chairs.

Dezeen hosted a series of talks with designers and creatives at 100% Design this year, including a discussion with Yves Behar on skeuomorphic design.
