Courbe Vase

Courbe Vase is an innovative sculptural vessel that represents a significant breakthrough in metal fabrication technology, combining form and function through an unprecedented pipe-bending technique. This sophisticated design, created by Eason Yang, Bryan Leung, and Amanda Lin, features a distinctive construction method where two tubular metal pipes are bent and clamped together without any welding process, creating an elegant curved form that serves both as a flower vase and an aromatic diffuser. Crafted from 304 stainless steel with titanium plating and PVD surface treatment, the vase exhibits a luxurious two-tone finish in black and gold, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Available in three sizes - large (400mm height), medium (250mm height), and small (125mm height) - each piece demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and technical innovation, requiring over 1,200 hours of experimental development to perfect the unique clamping and bending methodology. The design's significance lies not only in its visual elegance but also in its revolutionary approach to metal manipulation, breaking traditional limitations of sheet metal bending techniques. The vase's dual functionality as both a flower container and fragrance diffuser exemplifies thoughtful contemporary design, while its clean lines and sophisticated silhouette make it a compelling decorative piece even when not in use. This remarkable achievement in furniture design was recognized with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, acknowledging its contribution to advancing manufacturing techniques and aesthetic innovation in contemporary product design. The project, which first debuted at Dubai Design Week, represents a harmonious blend of technical innovation, artistic vision, and practical functionality, setting new standards for metal craftsmanship in modern furniture design.
