Finished with ribbed edges mimicking pages and wraparound Great Gatsby–style artwork, the vase reads like a hidden book until you notice the narrow top opening that accepts a few stems, writing tools, or dried florals. At roughly 4.13 x 5.43 inches (10.5 x 13.8 cm) and about 1.11 pounds, it’s intentionally small enough to tuck among paperbacks or sit on a compact nightstand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the vase designed to look like a book?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design recreates the silhouette of a hardback novel with subtle page-ribbing on the spine and cover proportions that read as a book from a distance.
