“Veil” is a flower vase made so one can watch the metamorphosis of a flower drying.
When people make a dried flower, a flower is usually turned upside down and traditionally hung on the ceiling. Veil uses and mimics this simple way to make a dried flower.
This flower vase design is inspired from a famous painting Ophelia (Sir John Everett Millais 1826-96) and a picture by Bill Evans & Jim Hall. The idea of Veil has the same concept of beauty of life and the meaning of death.
Veil consists of two parts, one is a glass vase without a bottom and another a 0.8mm thin stainless steel needle.
The vase is designed by Japanese designer Dan Tomimatsu.
