Nuage Medium

The shape of the Nuage vases made its first appearance in the oeuvre of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in 2002.‎ Reminiscent of a cloud, the motif was originally produced as a plastic shelf module that can be grouped into clusters or largescale configurations.‎ Eight tubular cavities pierce the flat surfaces of the modular element while also defining the form‘s outer contours.‎ Over the years, the Bouroullec brothers have varied this shape and repeatedly incorporated it in their graphic work.‎For the Nuage vase, the designers executed the cloud motif in varying lengths.‎ The cavities in the basic form are now positioned upright, dividing the vase into eight tubes that can be used for the artful arrangement of flowers and grasses.‎The undulating surfaces produce an attractive interplay of light and shadow, and individual vases can be assembled into entire ‚cloud formations‘.‎The Nuages vases are made of coloured, anodised aluminium or ceramic and come in several different sizes.‎
