DESIGN NAME: Ampoule
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Illuminated vase
INSPIRATION: A drop of light, an archetypal and pure form that in its dynamic impetus tells of the unique poem of a flower gift. This is the inspiring thought of a giant vase for a single flower, a design item that characterises every space with its simplicity, telling the magic of its history.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Ampoule is a lighting giant pot, thought just for one flower, made of Poleasy (patented cleanable polyethylene)
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Ampoule extends 205 cm in height and is made in both indoor and outdoor version. The available finishing are embossed, glossy and mysofty for indoor. In lighted versions, it's available with the E27 lighting kit valid for energy-saving bulb up to 32 W or RGB bulb piloted by remote control. Ampoule's impressive design is not a giant with foot of clay: infact, is firmly anchored to the ground thanks to the mounting bracket and the ballast which helps to give additional stability.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 8 months between Vicenza and Padua - Italy
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: rotational molding of polyethylene, by aluminum mold.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 205 cm height x 58 cm
TAGS: Ampoule, myyour, Traverso
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Starting from a compact block of plastic material and exploiting the roto-moulding world, the target was to create an item adapted for the industrial production process with the aim to keep straight the stem. The material Poleasy (used in Myyour collection) reduces the porosity making every surface completely cleanable.
CHALLENGE: To translate the poetry of the concept into an industrial design product, integrating the water bulb for the flower into the geometry of the stem.
