This cylindrical vase, produced by BMF in Germany during the 1960s, represents the Brutalist and mid-century design ethos. Crafted entirely from steel, it features a cool, matte silver tone with a subtly brushed surface, offering both a delicate texture and a smooth tactile experience. The construction is accentuated by two slim, polished bands delineating the upper, middle, and lower sections—a detail that adds architectural precision and a sense of lightness to the structure. The middle segment stands out with its shinier, more reflective finish, providing gentle contrast against the matte body. An oval cross-section (6 x 5.5 cm, height 24 cm) and the absence of handles or decorative motifs reinforce its industrial restraint. Impeccably manufactured, there are no visible welds or seams. The vase remains in excellent condition, exhibiting only minimal traces of use in the form of fine micro-scratches, with no dents, discolorations, or signs of restoration; all surfaces retain their original finish. This piece speaks with the voice of an era when geometry and material took center stage. The steel cylinder evokes a quiet strength—catching the light like a contemporary sculpture, while the subtle shine of the bands hints at the industrial optimism of the 1960s. In the simplicity of its form, one can sense the echo of modernist ambitions where even utilitarian details acquire architectural gravitas. Despite the rawness of the material, the vase recalls the bold projects of its time, where each glint and shadow brought new dimensions to quotidian experience. The vase may be paired with ivory-toned ceramics or teak accessories to reinforce its Brutalist character and highlight the matte steel surface. It is well-suited to a background of concrete or monochrome walls,
