Normally, flower vases are designed to showcase a bouquet when it’s in full bloom, vibrant and fresh. But once they begin to wilt, it’s typical to toss them out or maybe cut some parts to press, preserve, or use in junk journals. We often miss witnessing the entire journey of a flower since we are mostly attracted to its beauty. Imagine if you could experience the flower’s lifespan from start to finish!

The Inner Beauty vase is a unique concept for home decor that showcases the flower’s journey from water to bloom, both in concept and design. Unlike typical vases, this one is made for just a single stem, with a tiny hole in its round glass body. It also includes a tray that elegantly cradles the vase while adding to the overall visual appeal. This piece emphasizes aesthetics over practical vase functionality.
The design of the vessel itself represents a water droplet; it’s round, glassy, and transparent. The tray it sits on mimics the shape of a droplet after splashing onto a surface, creating a stunning display. It not only supports the vase but also collects fallen petals, creating a sort of visual poetry. You could place other little items on the tray, but if you’re focused on aesthetics, you might just let those petals drop elegantly.
This vase concept is a lovely addition if you want something to catch the eye while maintaining a minimalist vibe. However, it might take up a bit of space due to that tray, so if you have limited table real estate, it might not be the best fit.
