Textured Kaleidoscopic Vases

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Kaleidoscopic-Inspired Vase Features an Illusive Design

— September 14, 2015 — Art & Design
This kaleidoscope-inspired vase uses unconventional patterns to create an illusion for a captivating design piece.

The 'OP-vase' collection was designed by Bilge Nur Saltik, featuring visually distorted vases. The concept looks to take minimal items and distorts the visual elements of them to create an illusion of abundance. The vessel can take one flower and make it seem as if a bouquet is inside the kaleidoscope-inspired vase.

The piece features almost an inverted design to the conventional vase, seeing the glass piece closed at the top with a base. The piece features glass shields that -- much like a kaleidoscope -- create an optical illusion to magnify the contents inside and make it appear that there are several items inside.
