Over the years, the Bouroullec brothers have varied this cloud shape and repeatedly incorporated it in their graphic work. For the Nuage vase, the designers executed the cloud motif in extruded aluminium of varying lengths. The cavities are now positioned upright, dividing the vase into eight individual tubes that can be used for the artful arrangement of flowers and grasses. Thanks to their precise contours, they can be fitted together to create entire “cloud formations”.
