ABOUT PRODUCTID 16341
This Brutalist wall vase from the 1960s, attributed to Wall Metalwork, is crafted from copper with a distinct warm, reddish-brown tone. Its surface is fully covered in a repoussage texture that creates a scale-like, irregular pattern. Raised areas catch the light with a satin sheen, while the recessed sections remain matte, forming an interplay of depth and reflection. The elongated, gently tapering body stands on a slender, black metal stem, resting on a round, powder-coated steel base. The stark contrast between the vibrant copper cylinder and the deep matte black emphasizes the vase’s vertical silhouette. A wide opening (10 cm diameter) accommodates larger floral compositions without constraint. The entire body is precisely finished, with no visible seams or welds, resulting in a unified, sculptural appearance.The piece conveys a sense of strength through its honest use of material and expressive surface, capturing the essence of postwar Brutalism in the intersection between raw geometry and artisanal finesse. The scale-like texture echoes images of rock surfaces or organic armor, with fiery copper reflections shifting dynamically with the light. The vase is not intrusive, but asserts itself as a firm, yet quiet companion to everyday settings.In a living room, it will work well displayed solo on a dark wood console or stone shelf, where the copper texture can either contrast or harmonize with organic backgrounds. It may be paired with matte ceramics, irregular glass vessels, or minimalist black metal accents. Interiors in graphite, deep green, or earthy browns will accentuate the copper’s warmth, while soft, golden-toned lighting will reveal the fullness and nuance of the hammered surface.
