This project draws inspiration from the famous hippie phrase,
“Put flowers in your guns,” reinterpreting a symbol of conflict into an object of conviviality and utility.
The idea stems from the geometric, flower-like shape of a gun’s cylinder
cross-section.
It is a multi-purpose flower vase, candle holder and trivet crafted from recyclable aluminum: the material has been chosen for its sustainability and the historical link between weapons and metal..

A central base, 3D-printed from bioplastics or food waste fibers, complements the aluminum tubes. This base is adaptable: it can serve as support for the tubes, a bottle holder, or a trivet, enhancing its functionality.

The design’s concept lies in its versatility and symbolic reimagining.
It transforms an object traditionally associated with rigidity and violence into one that fosters warmth, community, and conviviality.

Whether used as a centerpiece for a dinner table, a decorative feature for an event, or simply a functional accessory in everyday life, this creation invites users to engage with its layers of meaning..
