Vase by Taiwanese studio Yuhsien challenges the ephemerality of bubbles

Taiwanese studio Yuhsien has created a series of amorphous vases, designed to resemble bubbles that encapsulate smaller pots. Dubbed Bubble , the playful collection of "flower cocoons" was born from the idea that bubbles break when touched. In contrast to this ephemerality , the studio's founder, Yuhsien Lin, made the bubbles as solid shapes using blown glass, appearing "frozen in time."

According to the studio, the vase and capsules pave the way for a new way for plants to interact, as people will be able to protect the flowers by carefully positioning the glass lid over the vase. Placed over a vase full of flowers or plants, the Cocoons contain enough air to maintain a level of humidity inside the dome to make its contents last longer. Each piece was hand-blown and hand-cut in Taiwan. Yuhsien worked with local glass artisans to help achieve the visual effect of a “slightly swaying” motion—like a bubble swaying in the wind—to emphasize the playful nature of the design.
