Georg Jensen, a name that respresent for decades Danish design and artisanship, recently introduced the Litus collection, which is the latest group of vases that have been created by the fantastic designer Anne Boysen based in Copenhagen. The collection seemed like it was the first casting of an aspect of beauty with its artfulness, but it was in fact a whole life cycle of flowers from the stage of full bloom to the stage of getting wilted. The design of the Litus vases is a great proof of it being an object of both practical and attractive quality, as the vases can be used for every house or interior space.
The Concept Behind the Lituus Vases
The Lituus line can inspire designers with the help of Anne Boysen’s design thinking ideas of processing every phase of the life cycle of a flower into enrichment and manifestation of nature, being the vases carefully structured to create different heights and dimensions for the flowers. They are designed to give elevated support to different flowers while allowing them to grow in a way that is suitable to each of them.
Lituus, a Latin word for trumpet, is a curved Neptune-like staff and it was used during the Roman Republic times in the ceremonies of ritual processions. It represents guidance and direction. This concept has a perfect link with Boysen’s concept for this collection, where a very successful and eye-catching show is also a medium of flowers’ growth in different stages of their life.
Features of the Lituus Collection
The Lituus collection includes three vases – the Large, the Medium, and the Floor Vase-each of which is such that it serves both functional and decorative purposes. The following are some important characteristics that make these vases stand out:
- Sculptural Design: The vases never lose their artistic meaning, because in addition to the original shapes, they enrich the visual component of any room. The innovative shapes create the silhouette that affects the lines and the finite and thus, cast the shadows that attract the attention everywhere they are placed.
- Material Quality: Made from the highest quality stainless steel, the vases not only look very good all the time but also are very durable. The reflective surface gives a contemporary touch and, in addition, the strength of the product makes vases ideal for various locations.
- Supportive Structure: The Lituus vases are very much the real forms for their supporting structure. The vertically cylindrical lines are so wound together as to break the various staggered parts of the flowers thus making each flower the star of the show, no matter at which stage of their lives they are.
Craftsmanship That Defines Georg Jensen
From the time of its establishment in 1904, Georg Jensen has always been closely connected to the Scandinavian way of life and design. The company became popular by making product quality its priority and revealing a link between the old and new in an artistic way. Lituus collection is another good example of this because it is a work of art in terms of the shades and a material understanding that only a few people can reach.
The vases not only get aesthetically complete but also sustainable by keeping stainless steel as the real raw material, and by doing energy and water-efficient cleaning, which will make the vases last for long. The design of a Danish brand which is by far the best choice for making timeless pieces that will be passed down from one generation to another according to the choice of the raw material.
Designer Anne Boysen’s Vision
Anne Boysen’s design philosophy is purely inspired by her love of nature that is filled with lots of details. She presents Lituus as her new collection and listens to the girls on the bench explain about how both things can tell a story about life. It is the idea of Anne’s vases that can grow with the flowers during their whole life cycle that makes them more not only beautiful but also appealing to the eyes of the customers. In the process, the creator features the visual appeal of fragility in not only the young but also the old.
Her work quite often deals with the two points of transformation and change, which is why the Lituus collection is the best illustration of her artistic vision. Thus, the vases are not that big, but definitely present beauty being in the fullness of, a flowers’ life, and its recline gentle as well.
Availability and Pricing
The Lituus collection is ready for sale at the Georg Jensen flagship store and the select merchants. The cost of the vases is directly related to the quality and amount of manual labor i.e. cheaper prices are for small vases and there are no perfect vases available. The budget here is something in the order of magnitude that is in the mid-scale of the entire sector out from medium to premium attracting art fans who are creative and practical.
Conclusion: A Celebration of Nature’s Beauty
Georg Jensen’s Lituus series is not merely a series of vases, but an attempt at aesthetically conveying the continuous cycle of plant life – from the growth of a flower to its death. Apart from applying sculpture and high-quality materials, the vases are also a product of internal structural innovations. The latter aspect allows the containers to not only present flowers more vividly, company the whole room’s styling, but also act as art. The result seems to be a collection of articles perpetually in use by various home purposes and interior designers in their projects, which at the same time still demonstrate nature’s transformative power through beauty in every stage of growth.
