Peel Vase Collection

The Peel Vase Collection is a three part vase collection by Alyssa Lewis and Marcela Trejo. It explores the aesthetic and functional aspects of a vase and the framing of the flora within.
The vase collection is composed of cylinder vases at varying heights that can be surrounded by any of the three sculptural “peel” forms. Together they are made of aluminum in three different finishes and can be combined in multiple configurations of texture, tone, and shape. The collection references the structure of the stem of the flora it holds, where cylindrical forms and a secondary skin simultaneously separate and connect.
The Peel Vase Collection speaks to the overlapping views of two individual designers, the contrast betwe-en human and nature where hard uniform structures frame soft unfolding organisms, and the embrace of nature celebrating its enigmatic beauty.

Alyssa and Marcela are based in Vancouver, Canada.
