la prairie The Hope Diamond set

 

Upcycling brush holders and vases inspired by the diamond shape of La Prairie Platinum Rare collection. The holder focused in its fuctions to hold La Prairie unique brushes for make up, made into two level to hold as well the beautiful spoons accompanied its products.

The set consists of four designs with geometric shapes inspired by Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann vases from 1899 and the Bauhaus designer Gunta Stölzl patterns.

Taken into consideration a minimum manufacturing cost to re-cut the blue caviar jars, simple cut steel sheets to support the structure. The Hope Diamond set stays truth to its upcycling philosophy, yet remains functional and accentuates the bold aesthetics of La Prairie.
