It has 5 parts: a waterproof ceramic base with 4 wooden attachments. Stack and use as one object or many.
Use it as a wide, tall or single stem vase or a lidded jar; no matter which wooden top you use on the ceramic base, the rest stack to become a complete object.
Inspired by ubiquitous drain pipes scattered around a city perpetually under construction, and the archetypal Indian ‘tiffin carrier’, Mod is a precisely crafted vessel that invites interaction.
Base
The ceramic cylinder is an open-ended vessel that lets users decide what it is. It may start life off as a vase, that once cracked becomes a pen stand or a keeper of forgotten things.
Flat base / Lid
The second base, Part 2, acts as a base to create a complete object in wood with Parts 4 and/or 5. Place it on top of Part 3, and you have a small wooden vessel.
Bottleneck
Turn the wide ceramic vessel into a single stem vase by placing the Bottleneck on Part 1. Insert Part 5 in between, and use it for long stems. Or stack it up with Part 1 and/or 2 to make make a wooden holder.
Lid / Little bowl
Place it on top of Part 1 and there’s a lidded jar. Place it under Part 2 and you have a small lidded bowl. Or, use it by it self as a simple little holder to keep odds and ends.
Bottleneck
