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
