Audo Copenhagen Collapse Vase

The Audo Copenhagen Collapse Vase takes inspiration from fluid fabric drapes, creating this soft, organic expression that works beautifully whether you're displaying flowers or leaving it empty as sculptural decor. Designed by Stockholm-based ceramicist Sofia Tufvasson, the vase has this fascinating collapsed form that looks like a cylindrical vessel gently crushed onto itself, creating billowing shapes and dramatic shadow play. What's appealing about Tufvasson's approach is how she translates her background as a graphic designer into three-dimensional ceramic work - you can see that eye for clean lines and sculptural presence that makes the vase interesting from every angle. The form captures light beautifully throughout the day as shadows shift across those draped surfaces, giving the piece visual interest even when sitting empty on a shelf or console table. Each vase is unique due to variations in the firing process, which means you're getting a one-of-a-kind piece rather than something mass-produced identically.

Available in two heights - 20cm (7.9 inches) and 30cm (11.8 inches) - both sharing the same 16cm (6.3 inch) diameter, you can choose based on your space and whether you're displaying it alone or clustering multiple vases together. The shorter version works perfectly on side tables, nightstands, or smaller surfaces where you want sculptural presence without overwhelming the space, while the taller version makes a statement on console tables, dining tables, or larger surfaces. Both sizes come in black or white ceramic finishes, giving you flexibility to match your existing decor or create contrast. The white version has this soft, matte quality that feels clean and contemporary, while the black brings drama and grounds the organic form with darker weight. What's practical about the Collapse Vase is how it genuinely works with or without flowers - the sculptural quality means it contributes to your space as art even when empty, but the opening accommodates real stems when you want to display fresh or dried arrangements. The ceramic construction feels substantial at 3.32-4.18 pounds depending on size, giving it stability on surfaces without being awkwardly heavy to move around.

Audo Copenhagen includes the Collapse Vase in their accessories collection as part of their broader design philosophy around creating pieces that enhance spaces through thoughtful form and craftsmanship. Designer Sofia Tufvasson represents the kind of creative collaboration Audo Copenhagen pursues - working with artists who bring specific expertise and fresh perspectives to everyday objects. Tufvasson finds inspiration in unexpected moments unrelated to art, catching eye-catching shapes or particular shadows that inform her ceramic work. That approach shows in how the Collapse Vase feels discovered rather than designed, like she captured a fleeting moment of fabric movement and translated it into permanent ceramic form. The brand's "soft minimalism" philosophy comes through in how the vase balances sculptural drama with clean simplicity, creating visual interest without unnecessary decoration or complexity. Each piece being unique due to firing variations aligns with Audo Copenhagen's appreciation for craftsmanship and natural material processes rather than perfect uniformity.
