The Maven Vase

Vases in this range carry names rather than numbers, and the Maven is one of the more assertive of them: a sculptural vessel meant to be looked at in its own right rather than to sit quietly behind something else. It works as a standalone object on a mantelpiece, a hallway console or the far end of a bookshelf, and it holds its corner of a room without needing a grouping around it. Two files are included with the download. Empty, it reads as decor in the same way a turned wooden form or a studio ceramic does. Dressed with dried grasses, wheat stalks, pampas or bare twigs it becomes a seasonal fixture that can be restyled in a minute when the light or the mood in the room changes. A good pick for anyone who wants their printer turning out design objects rather than obvious novelties.
