The Dodis vase is an example of modern design inspired by nature,
especially organic forms. Its slender, broken shape, resembles the flexible stems of plants,
and the asymmetrical design refers to the concept of unobvious forms in contemporary art.
The colors gray-blue and olive are a rather unusual combination, but can be understood
in the context of shades of muted, natural earth tones. The shape of Dodis allows the collection to be displayed
in an interactive way, as a single piece or in a set of several pieces creating a dynamic composition of
glass sculptures. Due to its unique shape and color scheme, the Dodis vase blends well
in minimalist spaces, adding an artistic, organic character to them.
