Cephora

Find­ing the right vase for a small flor­al gift isn’t always easy. With Ceph­ora, I set out to cre­ate a ver­sat­ile, sculp­tur­al object inspired by mar­ine life that solves this every­day chal­lenge with style.

This indus­tri­al design study explores form, func­tion, and flex­ib­il­ity. Using a 3D print­er and ceram­ic mater­i­als, I developed a dual-func­tion pro­to­type. Much like a Bundt cake mold, Ceph­ora fea­tures two intern­al cham­bers. When dis­play­ing a lar­ger bou­quet, the wide open­ing on top is used. For a single flower or smal­ler arrange­ment, the vase can be flipped 180 degrees, reveal­ing a nar­row­er open­ing.

The res­ult is a beau­ti­ful, tact­ile object that adapts to dif­fer­ent needs while bring­ing a nat­ur­al, ocean-inspired eleg­ance to any set­ting.
