Vases Découpage, Barre
Made by Vitra
Designed by Erwan & Ronan Bouroullec
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have long worked at the boundary between object and image, craft and concept. The Vases Découpage, Barre continues that inquiry. Each piece is hand-glazed ceramic, accompanied by abstract cut-out elements that shift the vase from vessel into something closer to an arrangement, a still composition that changes with each placement.
The name references découpage, the craft of cutting and layering, and the Bouroullecs apply that sensibility literally. Forms lean, overlap, and create shadow. The result holds visual tension between the geometric and the organic, the fixed and the rearrangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Vases Découpage for Vitra?
The Vases Découpage collection was designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, the Paris-based brothers whose work spans furniture, lighting, textiles, and decorative objects for many of Europe's foremost design producers.
What material is the Vases Découpage Barre made from?
The vase body is hand-glazed ceramic. The accompanying cut-out elements are part of the same production, giving each piece a considered relationship between surface finish and sculptural form.
Can the cut-out elements be rearranged or repositioned?
Yes. The abstract cut-out forms are designed to be arranged freely alongside or against the vase, so the overall composition can shift depending on context and personal sensibility.
Is the Vases Découpage Barre functional as a vase or purely decorative?
The Barre is designed to hold flowers, but it reads just as compellingly as a standalone sculptural object. The Bouroullecs conceived it to occupy both roles without compromise.
How does this piece relate to the Bouroullecs' broader design practice?
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec frequently explore the dialogue between two-dimensional graphic thinking and three-dimensional form. The Découpage series translates their long-standing interest in drawing and cut paper directly into ceramic, making their process visible in the object itself.
