Collection Products
Inspired by the simplicity and sophistication of Origami, this collection brings the essence of simplified geometry outdoors through an exquisite selection of animals and faceted vases. The result of a meticulous design process, each piece not only captures the intrinsic beauty of geometric shapes, but also invites a sensory experience where light and shadow play to create captivating visual spectacles.
Saru & Hyou
Saru, the gorilla, and Hyou, the tiger, are the masterpieces that embody the strength and spirit of the collection, with their imposing presence. These animals, fundamental to the Japanese cultural imaginary, are presented in a faceted execution that captures their wild and majestic essence, symbolizing courage and elegance.
Tori & Kotori
The depiction of the fly is perhaps the most direct nod to the art of Origami in the collection. With Tori, the large one, and Kotori, the small one, these pieces embody the essence of Origami in its purest form, symbolizing peace, health and happiness.
Their presence is a constant reminder of the delicacy and intricate detail that characterize Origami, a practice that, like each piece in this collection, combines technical precision with a deep emotional and cultural charge.
Usagi, Neko, Kitsune & Inu
The most beloved wildlife companions in the Japanese ideology: the rabbit, the cat, the fox and the dog. Each, available in standard and mini sizes – Kousagi (small rabbit), Koneko (kitten), Kokitsune (fox) and Koinu (puppy) – not only evokes the grace and cunning of these animals, but also reflects the importance of the names and their meanings in Japanese culture.
These pieces allow for a more intimate and personal connection to the art of Origami, allowing each viewer to interpret its symbolism in their own unique way.
The collection is also enriched with faceted vases, inspired by Japanese natural and cultural elements: Hanami, celebrating the contemplation of cherry blossoms; Hasu, inspired by the serene beauty of the lotus; Hinoki, evoking the nobility of the Japanese cypress; Kashi, paying homage to the ancient trees of Japan; and Yuri, symbolizing the grace of the lily.
Each vase is a piece of art that reflects the harmony between nature and the human hand, bringing a piece of Japanese tranquility and balance to any environment.
Studio Vondom’s Origami collection celebrates timeless elegance, transforming any space into a work of art, where functionality and design philosophy intertwine to create moments of unparalleled visual poetry and refinement.
