The hot list: Flourish your florals with these vases


  • English
  • Arabic

1 Floating flowers

Who says your vase needs to sit on an actual surface? We much prefer the idea of these porcelain beauties, which can be strung from your ceiling.

• Porcelain vases, Dh104 for set of three, www.dawanda.com

2 Colourful addition

We love the unusual shape and mix of materials in this Flower vase from Vanessa Mitrani’s Colours collection. You won’t even need to fill it with flowers – it’s a beautiful piece of sculpture in its own right.

• Flower vase, Dh1,120, Bits & Pieces, Muroor Road, Abu Dhabi

3 Animal magic

Pewter fish appear to be swimming through the glass in this stunning vase, also by Vanessa Mitrani. The piece is from her No Limit collection, which also features diving frogs, a blossoming cherry tree, bees and polar bears extending from cups, lamps, mugs and dishes.

• No Limit vase, Dh 2,250, Bits & Pieces

4 Black-and-white thinking

Use the charming Rosalinde vase by Bjørn Wiinblad to present a bunch of red roses or simple white lilies. With its eye-catching black-and-white colour scheme, this piece will fit perfectly in a more monochrome interior.

• Rosalinde vase, Dh405, www.einrichten-design.de

5 Bronze beauty

This bronze-coloured vase from Zara Home has a highly textured, hammered finish, giving it a lovely antique feel. We would fill it with daisies in deep-orange and purple hues.

• Vase, Dh209, Zara Homes stores across the UAE
