Sand vases

"Bou-Taoshi is a game. The rules are simple. Players make a heap of sand and place a branch in the centre, then each player takes turns removing sand, the one who causes the branch to fall loses.
It is a common sight in several Japanese temples, where the conic shape represents where god first came in the mythological age. The sand heap is also considered to be an object representative of a divine spirit.
The shape is also used in a ceremony for laying cornerstones, a process through which the building site is purified, though here, the sand is removed using a hoe.
It is thought the children's game Bou-Taoshi originated through observing these experiences, and translating them to their playgrounds – sandboxes and the beach. In its current form, children are not aware of this heritage, and in a sense are unconsciously creating an object representing a divine spirit and completing the ceremony for purifying building sites.
"Sand" is a reflection of this research and is a primitive form for a Japanese flower."

Earl light by Llot Llov

Earl is a simple but dynamic light by German design company Llot Llov, that looks like a giant wooden bead necklace. Earl is very versatile, it can be adjusted in a multitude of ways in order to shed light in specific areas.

"EARL is a flexible light which is convincing through its simple but dynamic system. Twenty wooden pearls, threaded on a cable act as levels in order to adjust the illuminating object. A hook locates the light source to any desired position. This provides an easy method of changing height and orientation, which enables a wide variety of implementation. The LED light source is embedded into the biggest pearl at the end of the thread. The silicone shade is pushed onto this pearl without being fixated. Similar to a spherical joint the silicone shade can be moved into different directions."

Hidden vases by Chris Kabel

These self watering plant holders were designed by Chris Kabel from Rotterdam. The project started as a research on how to make the water source invisible and highlighting the flowers.

"The flowers are placed around the water container so that it seems as if they are growing directly from the plate."

The wire addition helps keep the flowers in place on the outside of the container
