A nostalgic and tactile tribute to the sandy shores of the Mediterranean.

​

Titled Heaps, the vase is comprised of four corner parts; each element can stand as an individual vase, resembling the way sand piles in corners when swept by the wind. When the individual quarters are brought together into a quartet, they form a playful heap of sand or dune.​

The nearly 30-centimeter tall sculptural vase is 3D printed in quartz sand using Sandhelden’s technology for a sensual and tactile tribute to long summers spent in the Mediterranean.

Heap’s organic, flowing shape evokes the transient quality of sand, which constantly shifts over time. The use of sand further evokes a sense of nostalgia by incorporating an integral element of Greece is for Lovers’ upbringing. Perforations throughout the structure serve the same purpose as a vase’s traditional opening.
