ARC is new. But for Sebastian Holmbäck, the work of drawing vases is far from new. He sees the vase as one of the fundamental items in people's basic library of furniture and objects – in line with the table, chair and knife. In Sebastian Holmbäck’s design look, the vase is basically about something as simple as a series of reflections over a profile twisted around an axis. A geometric object that can vary infinitely depending on materials, patterns and colours.
