On a light wooden dresser, in a sleek office interior, or as a sculptural accent in a serene living space: this special handkerchief vase by Wout Wessemius effortlessly draws attention without being loud. The soft grayish-green hue of the glass, combined with the pleated design, creates a subtle play of light, shadow, and transparency. An object that simultaneously brings tranquility and adds character to an interior.
With its dimensions of 21.5 x 21.5 x 25 cm, this vase has a powerful presence, while its organic shape retains a sense of refinement and softness. The iconic "handkerchief" shape seems almost in motion, as if the glass was smoothly draped. That is precisely what makes this piece so special in the world of Dutch design.
The vase is signed on the bottom with "Wout Wessemius, Groningen Holland" and bears a number. It is in good condition and visibly carries the soul of an authentic design object with history.
Dutch design history with a distinctive character
Wout Wessemius originally began his career in engineering at the HTS in Groningen, but in 1981, he definitively chose his creative vision. His designs grew into recognizable pieces within the Dutch design landscape. He initially worked with acrylic and designed iconic objects such as the lamp "Luné", after which he increasingly drew inspiration from unexpected materials and spontaneous discoveries.
This distinctive way of creating is also evident in this vase. The object possesses that rare combination of artistic freedom and functional elegance. Not a perfectly smooth design without emotion, but a piece with subtle tension and a touch of eccentricity — exactly what gives an interior more personality.
At De Tuin Der Kunsten, we believe that authentic decoration creates connections between objects, materials, and people. This vase brings precisely that quiet harmony that softens a space without losing strength.
A sculptural object for living and working
This handkerchief vase comes into its own beautifully in a modern interior, a minimalist living space, or an interior where vintage and contemporary elements meet. Place it solo as a sculptural object or combine it with a few delicate branches for an airy, architectural look.
This object also immediately creates atmosphere and sophistication in professional spaces. Consider a stylish reception area, an executive office, a meeting room, or a practice where tranquility and aesthetics are important. The soft transparency of the glass brings calm, while the form simultaneously exudes creativity and character.
This is not decoration. This is an energy object.
