Swell Vases

German designer Anika Engelbrecht combines simple ceramic vessels with colourful balloons to create the 
swell vases. The series is comprised of five different vase forms each perforated and designed with lots 
of negative space by adding a series of colourful rubber balloons, each vase is able to hold water and 
flowers. The weight of the water fills the balloons and forces them out of the perforations in the vases. 
The result is white vases bulging with red, green and blue. the balloons can be rotated between the vases 
to create hundreds of different combinations.
