I’m not much of a flower person in a sense that it’s not a priority in my house as decoration. So I don’t really have vases handy in case someone gives me flowers or if I randomly decide to buy some for myself. And even if I did have vases, it would be more for functional purposes and not really as part of my space’s aesthetics. But if you’re the type of person that’s very particular about this accessory, there are a lot of options out there if you’re looking for pretty, decorative, and sometimes, even weird and extraordinary flower vessels.
One option, although it’s still currently a concept, is the Alaska Object 3 – Heart Vase. The designer’s goal isn’t really to just reshape a classic object that can be seen in our daily lives (well, if you’re into flowers and such). The idea is to reimagine its essence and the result is something that doesn’t really look like a vase but retains its main function and enhances what it can do for your flowers. Inspired by the human heart, not as a literal shape but as a conceptual foundation, the Heart Vase draws on the heart’s defining characteristic: its four chambers. This vase is designed as four distinct, interlocking parts. Each can stand alone, holding its own small bouquet, or they can be combined into a larger sculptural piece, bringing multiple flower arrangements together into one unified, striking display.
What makes the Heart Vase stand out isn’t just its modularity, but its visual language. There’s a clear brutalist influence at play: bold, raw, and architectural. The slits in the design aren’t just decorative; they act as functional channels for the flower stems, emphasizing both form and purpose. By bridging emotional symbolism (the heart) with material honesty and industrial aesthetics, the Alaska Object 3 – Heart Vase invites us to see a common object through a fresh, thoughtful lens. It challenges us to consider how the familiar can be reassembled, reinterpreted, and made new. The renders show something that’s more of a pot than a vase with its rectangular shape and unique way of letting you arrange the flowers, leaves, and stems.
This unconventional approach to floral display might just be the conversation starter your space needs, even if you’re not typically drawn to elaborate decorations. It subtly nods to the art of flower arrangement, not by dictating a specific form, but by offering a unique framework for personal creativity and expression. The Heart Vase suggests that even the most utilitarian of objects can be infused with conceptual depth and a touch of unexpected beauty.
One of the easiest ways to style your home is with vases, whether it be brimming with fresh, exquisite flowers or serving as ornamental artifacts. Vases lend a beautiful finishing touch to any space. Moreover, these versatile pieces can be showcased in a multitude of ways, be it when artfully grouped on a mantelpiece or a side table or as a captivating centerpiece on a dining table. The best part about incorporating vases is that they seamlessly blend into any room, making it possible to distribute your cherished pieces throughout your entire home.
Creating a beautiful mantel decoration involves arranging an assortment of vases with varying shapes and heights.

Exceptional vases should be displayed to enhance empty corners by employing a set of two vases, either with similar or contrasting shapes, and filling them with dried flowers. This method not only adds character to the vacant space but also provides volume and an appealing design element.
Single stems in small vases can be equally as striking as a grand centerpiece and truly highlight the beauty of each bloom. One can employ bud vases for swift and sophisticated table arrangements, ranging from single stems to a combination of petite bouquets. Being lightweight, these vases can be easily relocated when it’s time to serve food, and there’s no need to be concerned about them toppling over due to their size.
Enhancing a center table or dining table with seasonal blooms or artificial flowers is a delightful way to infuse a room with both color and fragrance. Moreover, they serve as ideal accent pieces to adorn and enhance the interior decor. Note that while it’s always pleasant to have a vase on the dining room table when hosting, one can also adorn the sideboard with a few vases.
