The Sphere Shisen Vase features hundreds of small circles that create a textured pattern resembling fine mesh across its ceramic surface. Its handmade construction provides unique variations in tone and texture, while the round form adds sculptural appeal. The distinctive surface treatment fades into the background for subtle visual depth, and this version offers waterproof functionality.
In its combination of unique silhouettes and textures, 101 Copenhagen's 'Sphere' vase collection offers an impactful sculptural presence. Now the series further emphasizes it identity with the addition of 'Sphere Shisen', a family of vessels that are designed and developed by Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl. Created in collaboration with skilled ceramicists, the vases are defined by a unique surface in which hundreds of small circles come together to fade into the background for a textured pattern that resembles a fine web — the word shisen is Japanese for a mesh. This large round version of the vase is cut from ceramic and presents its own variations in tone and texture due to its handmade nature. The vase is waterproof.
