Designer Ben Peng has created a vase that feels novel and new, due to the way shaped are combined.

A modern vase with dried flowers in front of a large circular backdrop, situated on a marble table with fruit in a bowl in the background.

Called the Nimbus Vase, the piece borrows from the familiar visual language of halos, using a simple circular form to frame flowers, stems, and dried arrangements with an almost sacred presence.

The design is minimal, but not plain. A soft metallic disk rises behind the vase, catching light and creating a glowing backdrop for whatever is placed inside. A single stem suddenly feels intentional, and full bouquet becomes sculptural.

The simple addition of the metal disk gives almost a stage for your flowers.

Peng designed the Nimbus Vase to work both on a tabletop and mounted to a wall, giving it a flexible, art-object quality.

Its gently curved back helps balance the arrangement, while the satin finish reflects light in a subtle, atmospheric way.

Available in a small range of organic tones, the vase is meant to recede just enough to let the flowers do the talking. It can live on a shelf, kitchen counter, bathroom vanity, office wall, or event table, bringing a soft bit of ceremony to everyday interiors.

Based in Melbourne, Peng approaches design with a clear affection for process, detail, and meaning.

With Nimbus, he turns a familiar domestic object into something more poetic: a frame for nature, a play of light, and a small reminder to look twice at what we usually pass by.
