Pleated Cone Vase
The Pleated Cone Vase is the kind of object that earns its place on a shelf not by demanding attention but by being consistently interesting to look at. The tightly packed vertical pleats that wrap the full circumference of the gently tapered cone catch light differently at every hour of the day — each ridge casting a hairline shadow onto its neighbour in direct sunlight, softening into a unified texture in diffuse light, and appearing almost tactile and hand-made in evening lamp light. It holds a single stem beautifully. It looks equally resolved standing empty. In 13 colours, at £9, it is the most accessible statement a shelf can make.
The Pleated Cone Vase is a gently tapered cone-form vase with a surface of tightly packed, sharp vertical pleats that run the full height of the body from the base to the open circular rim. The pleats are closely and evenly spaced, creating a dense, rhythmic surface texture that reads as a continuous pattern from a distance and reveals its precise, architectural construction at close range. The cone silhouette tapers gently from a wider base to a narrower opening, giving the form a clean geometric quality that suits both minimalist and contemporary interior settings. Available in 13 matte colours. Suited to fresh or dried flowers, single stems, or as a standalone sculptural object on any shelf, sideboard, desk, or windowsill.
Key Features
-
Tightly packed sharp vertical pleats that wrap the full cone from base to rim — a surface of precise, architectural rhythm that catches light beautifully from every angle — the outer surface of the Pleated Cone Vase is covered with a continuous series of sharp, closely spaced vertical pleats that progress evenly around the full circumference of the tapered cone body; each pleat has a precise, crisp profile with a sharp ridge at its peak and a clean valley between it and its neighbour; the tight spacing of the pleats creates a dense, regular rhythm across the surface that reads as a strong, graphic vertical stripe pattern from a distance and reveals its precise, three-dimensional construction at close range; the sharp ridges catch ambient light cleanly, each one casting a narrow shadow into the valley beside it and creating a surface that responds visibly to changes in light throughout the day — high contrast and graphic in direct sunlight, softer and more atmospheric in diffuse daylight, and quietly sculptural in evening lamp light; the vertical orientation of the pleats draws the eye upward along the height of the cone, emphasising its elegant taper
-
Gently tapered cone silhouette — a clean, geometric form that suits minimalist and contemporary interior settings equally well — the Pleated Cone Vase is proportioned with a wider circular base that tapers cleanly and consistently to a narrower circular opening at the rim, giving the form a precise geometric quality that is immediately recognisable and quietly distinctive on any surface; the taper is gentle enough to give the vase a grounded, stable presence and a good internal volume for stems, while being pronounced enough to give the silhouette its characteristic pointed elegance; the combination of the precise cone geometry and the tightly packed vertical pleats creates a form that reads as both architecturally considered and quietly organic — structured but not rigid, minimal but not plain
-
Works beautifully with fresh flowers, dried stems, single branches, or as a standalone sculptural accent — the narrow opening of the Pleated Cone Vase suits single stems or small, compact arrangements of fresh or dried flowers particularly well; a single stem of eucalyptus, pampas grass, a dried allium, or a fresh garden rose placed in the vase creates an immediately styled, considered display that suits any surface; the vase also works as a purely sculptural object — its precise form and surface texture give it sufficient visual presence to stand empty on a shelf or sideboard as a design object in its own right
-
Available in 13 matte colours to suit any interior palette — the Pleated Cone Vase is available in the full 13-colour range including Purple, White, Orange, Green, Brown, Beige, Black, Grey, Blue, Red, Pink, Neon Green, and Neon Purple; each colour is finished in a consistent matte surface that complements the precise pleated texture and suits both neutral and bold interior palettes; the matte finish also reduces reflections and gives the surface a softer, more considered quality than a gloss finish would
-
Suited to shelves, sideboards, desks, windowsills, and dining tables in any room of the home — the compact footprint of the Pleated Cone Vase makes it well suited to any flat surface in the home; a single vase makes a quietly confident decorative statement on a shelf or sideboard, and a group of two or three in complementary or contrasting colours creates an effortlessly styled vignette; particularly effective on a dining table as part of a centrepiece arrangement, or on a desk or windowsill as a small sculptural accent
-
A refined, understated gift for design-conscious friends and anyone who appreciates considered home objects — the precise pleated surface, the clean cone geometry, the matte colour range, and the accessible price point make the Pleated Cone Vase a genuinely distinctive gift for any occasion; at £9 per vase, it suits housewarming gifts, birthday gifts, new home gifts, and desk gifts equally well
-
Made in the United Kingdom — designed and crafted in Britain with close attention to the precision and consistency of the vertical pleat profile, the quality of the taper geometry, and the quality of the matte finish across all 13 available colours
For use with fresh or dried flowers. When using with fresh flowers, place a small water-tight liner or test tube insert inside the vase to hold water, as the vase body is not water-sealed. Wipe exterior clean with a soft dry cloth. For indoor decorative use. Not suitable for prolonged outdoor exposure or direct sunlight. Place on a stable, level surface.
