This vase by Rhode Island School of Design graduate Jiwon Choi is made from a thin curl of synthetic paper.
The vase is made of Tyvek, a lightweight and tear-resistant material produced from plastic fibres.
Jiwon Choi intended to create a package for a bunch of flowers that would be simple and light but strong enough to stand upright.
She is currently looking for a manufacturer to produce the vase.
We’ve featured a few other Tyvek objects, including a crumpled pendant lamp and a clock that creates changing 3D shapes as the minutes tick by – see all products made from Tyvek.
Other vases we’ve published lately include vessels that loop over the flowers to frame them and jewel-like vases assembled from flat sheets of cardboard – see all vases on Dezeen.

 | Bright colors are always fun to wear and are great to make your outfit more trendy and exciting. That is exactly why we love this Tassel Chain Handle Bag from Asos. Passionate red makes this bag such an inspirational fashion piece. Structured shape with zip through fastening and flap front pocket makes it more convenient for style and function. Another exciting feature of this bag is the tassel and the gold toned chain detailing. These detailing contrasted with the bright color make this bag more edgy and sophisticated. |
The Guardian has launched an online app on its site that allows users to scroll around a highly detailed 360 degree photo taken from the viewing platform of London’s tallest building, The Shard, which opens to paying visitors today…
Created in-house and making use of two super-detailed 360 degree photographs (one taken during the day, one taken at dusk) created by panoramic photographer Will Pearson, the app launches with a short filmed intro (still shown above) that takes the user into the lift of The Shard, up to the 68th floor and out on to the viewing platform. It’s worth putting your headphones on to hear the wind in your ears as you arrive virtually at the viewing platform.
Simple instructions appear handwritten on the screen although the app is pretty intuitive – you can scroll around and zoom in and choose whether to admire the view with or without the dozens of sound, story and landmark tags on screen.
Click on a tag to find out info about landmarks or to read stories by various Londoners about places of significance to them.
There are also sounds of the city to sample as well, sourced from the London Sound Survey – so you can listen, for example, to birds chirping on Walthamstow Marshes, or the sound of Big Ben’s tuneful bells chiming the hour…
The 360 degree photograph is pretty spectacular, although it’s a little hazy when you zoom in to distant parts of the scene, and it’s great to make the tags disappear to find your own way around the incredible view.
There’s also an option to change the image to dusk:
Find the app on The Guardian’s site here. Be warned, it’s very easy to spend a lot of time admiring the view.

The View from The Shard tourist attraction inside Renzo Piano’s 310-metre London skyscraper opens to the public today and these new shots by photographer Nick Guttridge show just how tall the building is compared with the rest of London’s skyline (+ slideshow).
The Shard was officially inaugurated in July 2012, but today marks the first time that the public can enter the 72-storey building and ascend all the way to the uppermost floor.
From this vantage point, 244 metres above ground, visitors are exposed to the elements and are faced with panoramic views stretching for over 40 miles.
Renzo Piano designed the mixed-use skyscraper in 2000 and it became the tallest building in Europe in 2011, before being overtaken at the end of 2012 by Moscow tower Mercury City.
Piano described the building as “a vertical city” in an interview with Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs before construction began, but explained that he was never concerned with breaking records. “Towers usually have a very bad reputation, and normally a deserved reputation, because they are normally a symbol of arrogance and power,” he said. “All this is about doing a building that is not arrogant.”
Since its construction, architecture critic Rowan Moore has labelled the building a “serious failure of planning”. Meanwhile, an urban explorer posted pictures online of himself climbing its walls and UNESCO were prompted to reconsider the status of the nearby Tower of London and Palace of Westminster as recognised sites of historical significance.
Photographer Nick Guttridge shot the skyscraper from several points around London, including from the penthouse at the recently completed Neo Bankside and from Canary Wharf. For details of how to purchase limited edition prints, send an email to mail@nickguttridge.com.
