Vaso da Tavolo Byrne

I wasn't sure how the brass would look in person, but the handmade variations give it this lovely, rich warmth that catches the light beautifully. Even empty it's a striking centrepiece, and the curved ends keep it stable on the table without scratching the wood.

I was a little worried the brass would feel cheap, but it's got a real weight to it that makes it feel like it belongs on a dining table. The handmade variations in the metal give it way more character than anything mass-produced, and it's perfect for that lonely spot by my office window.

The curved ends catch the light beautifully on my dining table, and the brass has a warm, hand-beaten character that no two pieces seem to share. I stuck a few eucalyptus sprigs in it by the window, and it’s become my favorite spot to glance at while working.
