Sunao Vase, Mini - Beehive
- Description
Sunao, a Japanese word meaning honesty, embodies the quiet beauty of simplicity. Its design echoes the timeless elegance of a classic vase, distilled to its purest form. With variations in size and shape, Sunao finds its place effortlessly, from a delicate accent in the kitchen to the commanding presence of a dining table centrepiece.
The collection unfolds in two surface and material expressions. The first is ceramic with a smooth finish, offering a refined clarity that complements interiors defined by calm and balance. The second is the Beehive texture, a living dialogue with nature. Cast from shellfish found along the shoreline, its organic surface invites touch and celebrates the raw poetry of the natural world.
Each vase is hand-glazed to achieve a soft, matte finish that carries subtle, one-of-a-kind variations, hallmarks of true craftsmanship. Inside, a waterproof glaze ensures functionality, allowing fresh flowers to harmonise with its sculptural form.

About the Material & Colour
Fiber Concrete
Hand-painted fiber concrete combines strength with artistry, transforming an industrial material into a refined surface for pieces that enrich the home. Reinforced with fibers for durability, it offers resilience against everyday use while remaining lightweight and versatile. Each piece is painted by hand, creating subtle variations in tone and texture that make every surface unique.
The result is a finish that balances raw honesty with crafted detail, bringing depth, character, and individuality to contemporary interiors.
Beehive
A living dialogue with nature. Cast from shellfish found along the shoreline, its organic surface carries the soft warmth colour of birch a gentle, creamy beige with natural brightness. Hand-painted with visible brush strokes, this finish may vary in tone and pattern, making every piece truly unique.
Maintenance
Our hand-painted fiber concrete vases combine strength with artistry, designed for indoor use and crafted to be fully waterproof inside.
To care for the finish, dust the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth. If deeper cleaning is needed, wipe carefully with a damp cloth and mild, pH-neutral soap, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, acidic or alkaline cleaners, and sharp objects, as these may damage the hand-painted surface.
The vases are waterproof within and can safely hold water for fresh flowers. After rinsing, dry gently and take care not to let excess water sit on the painted exterior, helping to preserve its finish over time.
With mindful care, each vase will retain its depth, warmth, and unique hand-painted character, becoming a lasting presence in your home.
