Stacking Vessels

$2,508

Made by Utopia & Utility

Utopia & Utility approaches objects as a conversation between utility and art. The Stacking Vessels embody that dialogue directly, assembling three independent containers, each one a different material, into a single unified form.

Wood, porous ceramic, and translucent glass sit together in deliberate contrast. The softness of one surface reads against the density of another, and the scale of the piece amplifies every distinction. Stacked, the vessels read as sculpture. Separated, each container finds its own purpose as a bowl or vase.

  • Three containers: wood, ceramic, and glass
  • Archaic silhouette with a strong sculptural presence
  • Fully functional as independent bowls and vases when unstacked
  • Made to order

The TSV5 is an object that changes with the room. Its presence shifts depending on how it is arranged, making it as much about the act of placement as the form itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in the Stacking Vessels?

The Stacking Vessels are composed of three distinct materials: wood, porous ceramic, and translucent glass. Each container is made from a single material, and the contrast between them is central to the design's visual and tactile identity.

Are the Stacking Vessels functional or purely decorative?

Both. When stacked, the piece reads as a sculptural object. When separated, each of the three containers functions independently as a bowl or vase, making the design genuinely dual-purpose.

What is Utopia & Utility's design philosophy?

Utopia & Utility is a studio that works at the intersection of craft, material honesty, and everyday function. Their objects are designed to carry cultural and sensory weight without sacrificing utility.

Is the TSV5 made to order?

Yes, the Stacking Vessels are made to order. Lead times should be confirmed at the time of purchase, and the made-to-order nature of the piece reflects the studio's commitment to craft over volume production.

How should the Stacking Vessels be cared for?

Because the piece combines porous ceramic, wood, and glass, each material requires different care. The ceramic and wood components should be kept dry when used decoratively, while the glass vessel can hold water for floral arrangements. Avoid prolonged moisture exposure on the wood and ceramic elements.
