GEAR vases
GEAR VASES
Designed by Philippe Bestenheider
Philippe Bestenheider puts his name to a collection of fine, elegant vases for Driade. A tall vase, a medium vase and a table centre cup, with sophisticated matt white, matt black and gold finishes.
“The shape of the gear vases is a play on geometry, based on the shape of gears. The same gear shape crosses vertically and horizontally, to create the three-dimensional surface of these vases. Put together, these containers mesh perfectly, like the gears in a mechanism”.
