Hello,
Although the video that is shown here features tips on how to care for the series of the April Vases is spoken in French, this video offers sub title blocks in English. So don’t despair and continue on, to a light, enjoyable informative video. The film features a knowledge base of disassembly and other components of caring for this beautiful, unique vase offered through Miller Design from the Tse & Tse associee’s in Paris. In the coming months we will bring on board the other size vases to accommodate others request for more!
Let me highlight for you the background that is inherent to this series of vases. The vases were designed in 1991 by Sigolène Prébois and Catherine Lévy, the Vase d'Avril is today considered a classic. Indeed, the Musée d'Art Moderne G.Pompidou considered it a marker of its time and included it in its permanent design collection in 1997.
Inspired by the artful flower arrangement of Japanese ikebana, this vase isolates each flower in a tube to show it off to best advantage. Articulated by metal rings, the April Vase has a variable geometry. It adapts to the flowers it shelters and the supports on which it stands. Thus, it gives everyone the great pleasure of composing a successful bouquet.
Made of glass tubes and metal parts that articulate, the Vase d'Avril can be dismantled. As shown in the video, the tubes can be removed and placed in your dishwasher to keep them sparkling clean. Please be aware, only the glass tubes can go into the dishwasher or be in water. The metal fasteners can we wiped down with a soft cloth.
The Classique April Vases are made in France. The "Classic" vase is composed of 21 tubes, including one with the Tsé & Tsé logo. Replacement on the plain tubes are available at time of purchase of the vase. We will also have the Tse & Tse logo tubes available soon.
