101 Copenhagen Katachi - vase with reflective surface
The Katachi vase, named after the Japanese word for "shape", is a sophisticated study in the interplay between light, shadow, and irregular form. Designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl, the collection explores the poetic distortion of light through meticulously mouth-blown glass and high-gloss ceramics.
Each vase features an intentional, undulating surface that refracts its surroundings, creating a fluid, mirror-like quality that shifts throughout the day. Whether specified in the airy transparency of Clear glass, the atmospheric depth of Smoked Forest, or the luminous High Glaze Birch ceramic, the Katachi serves as a dynamic sculptural object that invites tactile and visual curiosity from every angle.
The big size vase possesses enough structural presence to be placed directly on the floor as a standalone sculpture, while grouped arrangements on a dining table or sideboard create a architectural landscape. These vases are particularly effective when positioned on windowsills or the Ishi coffee table, where natural light can accentuate their shifting reflections. Whether housing floral arrangements or left to stand empty, the Katachi vase enriches a contemporary interior with a quiet sense of presence, seamlessly bridging the gap between a functional vessel and a piece of contemporary art.
