PVC pipes are made to disappear inside walls and infrastructure, valued for function rather than presence.
In this project, the material is removed from its original context and given a new role — one that is visible, tactile, and expressive.
Through heat, the rigid pipe becomes soft and responsive. In this brief state, it is shaped by hand.
Once immersed in cold water, it solidifies again, preserving the movement that formed it. What remains is a frozen gesture — a trace of pressure, time, and human touch.
Each PNºVASE is shaped entirely by hand, without moulds or predefined forms.
No two pieces are the same. Subtle variations in form are not imperfections, but evidence of the process itself. Every object carries the memory of how it was made.
No mold. No repetition. Only process.
Although functional, PNºVASE is conceived primarily as a sculptural object. It can stand alone or hold a single branch or flower.
A removable glass tube allows fresh flowers, while dry arrangements further emphasize its sculptural character.
The object does not compete with its surroundings; it quietly defines them.
