Vase d'Avril XXL

$581 NZD

The Vase d’Avril XXL is a sculptural statement piece and one of the most recognisable creations by Tsé & Tsé. Designed as a flexible chain of 12 oversized interlocking glass tubes, this expressive vase invites endless reconfiguration — bending, stretching, looping, or separating into entirely new forms.

Held together by a zinc-coated steel structure, the vase can be fragmented into two distinct sections or rejoined into a circular form by removing a single tube. When multiple vases are combined, the chain can be extended indefinitely, creating a dramatic, flowing installation across a table or surface.

Despite its scale, the Vase d’Avril XXL remains beautifully restrained. A handful of flowers is all that’s needed to bring the piece to life, allowing form, movement, and negative space to take centre stage. Over time, the metal framework develops a soft white oxidised patina — a natural evolution that enhances its character and sense of material honesty.

A bold yet timeless object — functional, playful, and deeply sculptural.

Dimensions - 18cm high, 24–69cm total length (adjustable), each test tube is 5cm in diameter.

Materials: Glass tubes with zinc-coated steel structure

ABOUT the MAKER

Tsé & Tsé Associées

Tsé & Tsé associées is a French design house celebrated for its playful, poetic approach to everyday objects. Founded in 1991 by Parisian designers Sigolène Prébois and Catherine Lévy, it remains one of the few independent design companies in France. Each piece is conceived, prototyped, and refined in their Bastille workshop, where a small, dedicated team oversees every stage from idea to final product. Known for their originality and irregularity, Tsé & Tsé creations are intentionally unique — no two items are ever quite the same. These thoughtful differences are the brand’s signature, adding soul and story to each object. At Tessuti, we offer a curated selection of Tsé & Tsé objects that combine French charm with enduring function — perfect for the home that values character and craftsmanship.
