Description
Heinen Delf Blauw Folding Vase No. 1 — Origami Delft Ceramic — 12 cm
Elevate the ritual of giving with a ProtocolToday selection: a sculptural folding vase that unites the discipline of Asian origami with the soul of Dutch Delftware — a compact, conversation-starting objet d’art perfect for ceremonial gifting.
Product Story
A meeting of two crafts: the measured geometry of paper folding translated into tactile ceramic, finished in the deep, luminous glaze of Heinen Delf Blauw. Designer Romy Kühne reimagines tradition as a contemporary form, creating a piece that reads as both a cultural homage and a modern design statement. At 12 cm, it becomes an intimate centrepiece, a keepsake and a storyteller in one.
