While browsing the website of imm Cologne 2010 d3 nominee David des Moutis (selected for his furniture), I came across his XAV vases, pictured here.

Each vase is made of three parts that can be recombined to accomodate different groupings of flowers. Though they appear just slightly ramshackle and off-kilter, the pieces rely on precise fitting at their junctures. According to des Moutis, who worked with a master glass blower on this project, this unites a highly precise process with a "random" one, presumably coming from the unpredictable nature of blown glass.

Thanks, Thom!
