'fragrance vessel' by dean brown is meant for preserving an enjoying scented liquids or perfumes. the form is a hybrid of a wine glass,
an arabic perfume stopper and a saucer. these familiar typologies are reexamined outside of their usual context.
the wine glass is shaped to capture aroma, beyond containing wine, the base is a saucer to highlight and define a surface area when held,
and the perfume stopper completes the composition with a sense of familiarity. 

'deserto' by marie dessuant is a single flower vase. it is made using traditional veneto glass blowing techniques.
the shape is derived from idea of the last drop in an empty bottle, suggesting the desert and its absence of water.
