Danish design brand 101 Copenhagen has unveiled its latest creation, the Katachi Vases, a collection that explores the relationship between form, material, and perception. Inspired by the Japanese concept of Katachi, meaning "shape," the vases embody both physical presence and emotional resonance, offering a serene complement to contemporary interiors.

Each vase is a study in contrast—organic yet precise, raw yet refined. Mouth-blown glass versions scatter and bend light through their irregular surfaces, producing soft, shifting reflections throughout the day. High-gloss ceramic models amplify their surroundings, turning the sculptural form into a dynamic interplay of reflections and shadows. The vases, whether empty or holding a simple branch, act as quiet meditative objects, blending stillness and motion, clarity and distortion, refinement and rawness.
Founded in 2017, 101 Copenhagen focuses on creating lighting and accessory pieces of exquisite craftsmanship, quality, and timeless design for Scandinavian living. The Katachi Vases reflect the brand's philosophy of fusing Scandinavian minimalism with Japanese material sensibility, producing objects that are both visually striking and emotionally engaging.
The design approach of 101 Copenhagen is notably holistic and dynamic. Objects are conceived with freedom of expression while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic, resulting in timeless pieces that carry unique stories, symbols, and associations.

The Katachi collection is available in a range of finishes, including Smoked Forest and Clear, with sizes designed to suit both intimate and expansive interior settings. Each vase is presented as a functional object that transcends utility to become a sculptural expression of balance and simplicity.
