CONTEMPORARY: JAMES SHAW

James Shaw is a designer and maker who explores the material landscape in a hands-on way. His work aims to interrogate material, systemic, and formal approaches to object creation. Often, his projects focus on the resources around us, challenging the notion of "waste" to create new, beautiful materials.

This series of bud vases consists of a limited edition of only 8 pieces, available exclusively at Simple Flair Goods. The vases are a continuation of Shaw's work, particularly reinterpreting one of his previous creations, the Plastic Baroque Candle Holder. 

The vase is made from recycled HDPE with a brass flower cup. When James Shaw creates larger plastic pieces, excess lengths of hot extrusion are inevitable. Rather than discarding them, he uses these leftovers to make products like these vases.

Due to the handmade and unpredictable nature of the process, each piece is entirely unique and has its own character. If you'd like a random piece to be assigned to you, no problem. However, if you prefer a specific type, please email us, and we'll follow up with the available options.
