French company Y’a Pas Le Feu Au Lac, draws me in closer with this pencil stick vase. 3 different vessels bound together hold water for flowers. As a stand alone work of art, you wouldn’t even need flowers. The brand takes its name based on the expression “no need to rush”, and that’s what I do when I stare at this. LITERALLY a work of art, its inspiration is drawn from a conical pile of straw bound up. Exploring the juxtaposition of elements being brought together. I know. This is not your average vase. That’s why I love it!! Available in Pink, and Green too…..Made in the UK. Material: Beech wood, Lacquer, Glass. 9.8″H x 3.8″dia overall.

Perfect as a gift, for decor, a few long-stemmed flowers, or even dried foliage. For a more dramatic display effect, hang a set of pearls coming out of the vase, as homage to lava beads, cascading down the mountain. 13.25″ H x 8.75″ W x 4.7″ D. Weight 11.5 lbs.
