MANO MANI's Ikebana vases are clever little flower-stick vases, allowing anyone to easily create refined floral arrangements inspired by Ikebana, the Japanese art of floral arrangement. No need for Kenzan—metal plates bristling with spikes—to hold the stems of your arrangements. MANO MANI's Bulb (closed) and Corolla (open) vases have built-in notches so you can slide your stems directly into them. Finish by pouring a little clean water over the vase, and you're done.
Ikebana vases were born from the desire to be able to create graphic and bold compositions with next to nothing: a few pretty stems bought from a florist, branches gleaned while out walking, wild flowers...
Thanks to their small size, these vases delicately add flowers to cheerful tables without disturbing your guests. Sold in their beautiful custom-made wooden box, they make an ideal gift.
Founded in 2019 by Julie Boucherat, MANO MANI is a domestic arts laboratory with free and spontaneous collections. Designed as a transversal and poetic creative space, MANO MANI aims to offer a collection of functional pieces and unique, sensitive, and accessible objects.
