Ripple floating vase designed by the Japanese group oodesign.

Like a ripple ,"Floating Vase" is a bud vase that floats. Once on water, the vase becomes indistinguishable from the surrounding fluid, making the flower appear as if arranged directly onto the water. The flower floats nonchalantly, its stem slowly absorbing the water, changing position and appearance only when the wind or water movements allow.
