Capturing the essence of rain: the puddle flower vessels by design duo YOY

Have you ever been captivated by the beauty of a single flower blooming from a crack in the sidewalk, or a tiny ecosystem thriving in a puddle after a summer shower? The Japanese design duo YOY (Naoki Ono and Yuki Yamamoto) have translated this fleeting beauty into a permanent art form with their innovative “Puddle” flower vessels.

These mesmerizing creations are not your typical vases. Inspired by puddles of water, the Puddle vessels feature a flat, tray-like base that appears to hold a shallow pool of water. But look closer, and you’ll discover the clever illusion: the water is actually contained within a hidden ledge, utilizing the properties of transparency and surface tension to create a realistic effect. A single stem emerges from the “puddle”, creating a captivating display that blurs the lines between nature and artifice.

The Puddle vessels are a testament to YOY’s design philosophy, which centers on finding beauty in the everyday and unexpected. By transforming a mundane puddle into an elegant flower holder, YOY invites us to appreciate the simple wonders of the natural world, even when incorporated into our homes.
