Peacock is a test tube vase designed to host various floral arrangements. The vase has a minimal structural setting which provides a platform for floral artists to create their own artwork and displays. Consisting of twenty-one stems which organically interconnect to each other, the vase mimics a radially spread peacock display with unique patterns and focal points. Each stem holds a glass tube which houses water and flowers which can be removed and refilled without having to move the vase itself.
