Mid-century modern vase, orange glass, Huta Laura, Poland, 1970s

This vase can be paired with a low teak wood console or a modernist table – its geometric form fits well against delicately grained veneer or a smooth glass surface. It works great as a solo piece in a minimalist living room, but can also be combined with other colour-contrasting objects from the 1960s–70s to create a dynamic group of decorative accents. Suitable for modernist and collector interiors, where glass and colour have space to resonate. It is worth combining with abstract graphic art or ceramic vessels in subdued colours to emphasise its energetic character.
