sway

an innovative flat-pack vase

2022

Sway is a flat-pack vase produced from interlocking aeroply rings precision cut using a Zünd CNC machine. The innovative design can be erected and dismantled with ease; the shape and size of the vase can be altered to accommodate different floral arrangements and display preferences.

Despite its inherent rigidity and stability, the structure moves from side-to-side when exposed to light air currents in a room, creating a gentle swaying motion that mimics the natural movement of flowers in the wild.
