The Quartz vase 26 cm from Nachtmann is a simply gorgeous piece made from pristine crystal glass. The faceted and angular surface if the vase resembles the shimmering surface of quartz. Designer Catherine Merrick won the NextGen Design competition in 2010 for this piece, a collaboration between Nachtmann and the prestigious Pratt Institute, a school of architecture, art and design in New York. The partnership was cultivated to find new design talents and to push the boundaries of interior art and creativity. Quartz sand is one of the most important raw materials when it comes to manufacturing crystal glass — it was the unique aesthetic of the material that served as the radiant inspiration for this distinguished vase. Elevate your table setting with the Quartz vase and a bouquet of freshly cut flowers!
