Sakura, one of many creative designs presented by Nendo at the recent Milan Design Week, features a delicate cherry blossom branch peeking out of a porcelain vase. A collaboration with French porcelain manufacturer Sèvres, the Sakura vase is likened to be a wall with full-bloom cherry blossoms growing out of it. Intricate porcelain pieces are also affixed to the surface of the vase to depict floating petals in the wind. A simple vase that is an artwork on its own!
