Arrecife is not your typical vase. Inspired by the organic structure of coral reefs, this design combines aesthetic form with unexpected functionality. At first glance it appears to be a decorative vase, but its design hides multiple uses that extend far beyond traditional flower-holding.

The central cavity is designed to hold a standard glass of water, making it ideal for placing flowers in water without having to fill the vase itself. This avoids the risk of leaks and makes it easy to swap out or clean the container, much like how marine organisms find protection within the crevices of a reef. The outer pleated structure subtly expands and contracts, allowing this cavity to open and close as needed.

But Arrecife’s versatility doesn’t stop there, those same folds are also perfect for holding office supplies like pens, scissors, or other tools. It works just as well on a desk as in a living room, functioning as both an organizer and a design object.
