Fun With Flowers: Bloom My Buddy
Bloom my Buddy
Designers Niels Van Eijk & Miriam Van der Lubbe have created these fun and fabulous flower vases. They have a reservoir in which to hold the water and various holes so you can design your 'boy' or 'girl' in infinite floral dress. Created in a large and a small size, they were initially commissioned by the Flower Council of Holland.
The two sizes in comparison:
The smaller one measures 45 cm ( or 17.75"H) , is made of rotation moulded polyethylene and has 98 holes. The larger version measures 120 cm, is made of hand laminated polyester and has 298 holes.
Take a look at some of the fun examples of how these vases can turn your flora into little characters.
