Introducing the “Medifla,” a vase made of scientific glass.
The interplay of flowers and glass creates a soothing effect. "A Medicine for the Mind and Body"
The “Medifla” vase, made from scientific glass, is a collaborative creation by flower artist Keita Kawasaki and scientific glass expert Ryuichi Tamura. Embracing flowers as a source of healing, the vase is designed to serve as a therapeutic element for both mind and body. Crafted from scientific glass, valued for its strength and heat resistance and commonly used in healthcare environments, this compact vase is designed to make flower arrangement accessible to everyone. Its innovative design is specifically tailored to highlight the natural beauty of individual flowers.
A new floral narrative born from an encounter with scientific glassware
The concept for the product emerged quite by chance. Kawasaki was taken aback during a visit to a local scientific glass workshop, where he discovered a revolutionary manufacturing technique that defied the norms of traditional glass molding. Impressed by the artisans' mastery and the material's robustness and thermal resilience, he was inspired to design a small vase. Upon suggesting to Tamura the idea of crafting a vase designed to delight flowers, Tamura expressed his own desire to venture beyond scientific equipment. Their mutual passion propelled the project forward, culminating in the creation of a distinctive vase crafted from scientific glass—a material frequently utilized in everyday items across Europe—under the theme that "Flowers are balm for the soul and body."
