Alexandre Dubreuil’s Flower Vase Meditation

Take a closer look at the beauty of flowers

We all know the profound and uplifting effect a beautiful vase of flowers can have on a room. But when was the last time you placed a flower arrangement in your home and took the time to really look closely at each bloom and take in the delicate beauty of its petals?

Now there is a vase that will remind you to do just that. The brainchild of French design studio Alexandre Dubreuil, ‘Meditation’ is a flower vase with a difference. The sleek, elegant marble base has a hole in the top, big enough for a single stem. With the right bloom, that alone would make a statement piece in any home.

The really clever part?

Attached to the vase is a magnifying glass through which the flower can be examined and enjoyed – its every detail highlighted and thrown into the spotlight.

The simple design of the vase – combined with its invitation to stop and reflect on the beauty of nature – invokes a sense of calm and peace, making it an ideal office accessory for those moments when the everyday stresses of work get too much.

A peaceful night's sleep

Alternatively, it would make the perfect bedroom companion for those who want a restful night’s sleep. After all, better to spend the last moments before drifting off to sleep, enjoying the beauty of a flower than checking your emails on your phone.

But if you want to indulge in your own flower meditation, you’ll need to hurry... Produced by Gallery Bensimon in Paris, there are only 25 limited edition pieces available.
