City Vase

a city captured in shape and story

The City Vase is no ordinary vase.

It is a tribute to the growth, layers and soul of a city.

Each design tells the story of a place – from its first contours to the dynamic silhouette of today.

The vase captures the development of the city in one object: from settlement to metropolis.

From city border to skyline

Unique to the City Vase is the use of the historical silhouette of the city. The base of the vase often reflects the original city borders, formed by ramparts, waterways or old trade routes. As the vase rises, the shapes follow the urban expansion: new neighbourhoods, industrial zones, modern architecture. This creates a layered profile that literally shows the growth of the city.
