Care & Maintenance

This Crinkle series transforms the familiar shape of a paper bag into elegant porcelain flower vases. Using plaster molds to capture even the finest textures of crumpled paper, each piece is crafted with remarkable precision in Seto, Japan.

Recognized for its innovative design, the series is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and continues to be sold in MoMA Design Stores worldwide. It is also held in the collections of renowned institutions such as the Faenza International Museum of Ceramics in Italy and the Victoria & Albert Museum in the UK.

Striking as a sculptural object and functional as a flower vase, Crinkle Vase #1 adds quiet character to any modern interior. Whether holding fresh flowers or standing alone, its refined form brings subtle elegance to everyday living.
