SUMIDA Plate glass



CONCEPT
This palm-sized vase is made of multiple layers of highly transparent plate glass. Light passing through the cross section of the glass, which is cut by hand one by one, creates a unique shimmering effect.  By installing a dark mirror at the bottom, the plant in a vase is reflected dimly in the depth of the multi-layered glass, allowing you to enjoy flowers from various angles. Scrap materials of window glass are utilized for up-cycling.
