Pós-Tropical Vase

Originally created in 2014 for the Collectors Club of MAM (Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo), the Post-Tropical Vase has yet become an icon of Guilherme Wentz’s work. The importance of the object goes beyond its primary function and it represents a new vision for the Brazilian classic materials and the country’s empirical popular “design” culture.The vase is formed by a metallic tube supported by a wooden base. The simplicity of shapes is complemented by the simplicity of the construction: the components are tied up by a metallic belt, referring to the improvised and primitive constructions. The project was re-edited in new materials and is available in two finishing versions.
