Mirrored vase

Bouquet starts from a simple idea: using reflection to let just a few flowers feel like a full arrangement.

Four slim mirrors rise from a solid base and quietly multiply each stem, creating a sense of generosity with very little.
It’s not about creating a visual trick, but about letting the flowers feel bigger and more open, as if their growth were happening simultaneously in different planes. The mirrors slide into the base without glue, becoming part of its structure rather than an applied detail.

Inside the concrete block, four small cavities hold water, and each one contains a cluster of metal pins inspired by the traditional floral “hedgehog.”
It’s a straightforward system that keeps the stems stable while keeping the whole object honest and unembellished.

I’m developing the base using a mix that incorporates leftover concrete and other waste materials from construction sites. Using what’s already available (dust, fragments, discarded pieces) keeps the process practical and reduces waste. In this way, the base isn’t just a mass of concrete; it becomes a straightforward example of how existing materials can be redirected and used differently.
It creates a simple contrast: light, flexible flowers supported by a solid, utilitarian material.

Bouquet leaves its construction visible: the base is unpolished, the mirrors are straightforward, and the pins are part of the design.
This openness lets the flowers take center stage, and even a minimal handful of stems become a natural sculpture.
