Curva Vase Collection

Versatile and Sensual Vases Inspired by Oscar Niemeyer

The Curva Vase Collection, designed by Bruno Oro De Abreu, is a unique and versatile range of vases that draw inspiration from the fluid lines of Oscar Niemeyer's architectural work. These vases not only serve as decorative elements but also offer a variety of uses beyond holding flowers.

The Curva Vases were specifically designed to break away from the traditional notion of vases being hidden away when not in use. Instead, they are intended to be pieces of design that can be used in different ways according to the user's creativity. Whether as decorative items, pencil storage, or even food containers, these vases offer endless possibilities.

With or without flowers, the Curva Vase Collection exudes sensuality and elegance. The broad range of colors available allows users to create either energetic or calm and inspiring atmospheres, seamlessly blending into any environment.

Consisting of three vases with different shapes and aesthetics, users have the option to display them as a family of items or individually, depending on the desired ambiance.

The manufacturing process of the Curva Vases involves injection molding for both the inner and outer bodies. Made of polypropylene (PP), these vases are not only easy to produce at a large scale and low cost but also water and impact resistant, ensuring their longevity and durability.

Measuring 25 cm in height and with an average radius of 8 cm, the Curva Vases boast a sleek and ergonomic design that is both visually appealing and functional.

The Curva Vase Collection is the result of years of research and development. Inspired by Oscar Niemeyer's quote, "It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve — the curve that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the body of the beloved woman," Bruno Oro De Abreu sought to integrate Niemeyer's design concepts with his own unique style.

Recognized for its innovation and practicality, the Curva Vase Collection was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2014. This prestigious accolade is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Curva Vase Collection stands out for its ability to integrate industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings to users while contributing to a better world.
