Nature is truly an inspiring force.
Organic elements, fromleavestorocks, have long stimulated and influenced artists.
Now, a team of Japanese creatives have found inspiration in the humble puddle.
Tokyo-based design studioYOYcreated a project aptly titledPuddlethat features a series of unique flower vessels.
Each design creates the illusion of a bloom growing out of a crystal-clear splash on the ground.
A single flower blooming in a puddle,writethe designers.
This is a vase that creates such a scene.
The trick is carried out by the wall of the vase, which is about 0.06 inches high.
When combined with surface tension, the designers say that it can hold a cup of water.
ThePuddleprototype was created in 2022 by YOY’s designers, Naoki Ono and Yuki Yamamoto.
As clever as it is, it was never actually commercialized.
Inspired by the boundaries between space and objects, YOY has also created gravity-defyinglampsandshelves.
