Too Cool for Smool

Robert Bronwasser, founder and director of Dutch design studio SMOOL, has a unique vision when it comes to product design. His products display a perfect balance between form and function, resulting in beautifully simple objects for the home. I am really in love with the Dip Vase, which is made of unbreakable vinyl.

What looks like several delicate, porcelain cylinders, arranged into a smooth, organic shape, is actually soft, unbreakable vinyl, formed with a dipmoulding technique. As a cohesive unit, water is held in the vase and distributed throughout the different parts.

Available from Generate Design for $119.

Modern Pet Bowls
