Oval Vase — Geometric | Sumi

Sumi is an elongated oval vase framed by a large diamond lattice. Broad diagonal strips cross over the rounded body, forming a repeating network that narrows toward the upper opening and lower edge. The underlying surface and the raised lattice create two visible layers of depth.

The diamond shapes change proportion as they follow the fuller middle and narrower ends. This gives the pattern a fitted, sculptural quality rather than the appearance of a flat motif placed on a cylinder. A side view reveals how the crossing strips project around the curved body. The repeated angles make Sumi a geometric vase with a clear structure, giving this geometric flower vase a strong contrast with soft dried foliage.

Pair Sumi with artificial flowers that soften the angular lattice, or use a sparse dried arrangement to keep the patterned shoulders visible. A plain backdrop helps separate the overlapping lines, especially when the vase is displayed alongside other textured pieces. As a designer vase for living room styling, Sumi can sit beside books or framed art, with its detailed side turned toward the room. For a display of unusual vases, keep the neighbouring shapes quieter; unique flower vases are easier to appreciate when their profiles do not overlap.

For the Outdoor finish, choose a blue vase to coordinate with similar accents, or a green vase to change the contrast around the same sculpted form. Use Sumi as a flower vase for a dry arrangement, or leave this table vase unfilled so the complete shape remains visible.
