Mozaik Vitra Nuage Vase Small Light Silver

The shape of the Nuage vases made its first appearance in the oeuvre of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in 2002. Reminiscent of a cloud, the motif was originally produced as a plastic shelf module that can be grouped into clusters or large-scale configurations. Eight tubular cavities pierce the flat surfaces of the modular element while also defining the form's outer contours. Over the years, the Bouroullec brothers have varied this shape and repeatedly incorporated it in their graphic work.

The limited edition Nuage abstrait is fabricated using a process in which each vase is immersed in a series of coloured anodising solutions for a specific length of time. This reflects Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec’s abstract interpretation of the design, giving each vase the quality of a sculpture with a unique colour gradient.
