Designer Stadsvazen - City Vase
Jan-Gert Kamping, a designer from Enschede, wants to make the Netherlands more beautiful with the City Vase. He brings the vases to life through a unique production process.
City Vase – a city captured in form and story
The City Vase is no ordinary vase. It's a tribute to the growth, layers, and soul of a city. Each design tells the story of a place—from its earliest contours to its dynamic silhouette today. The vase captures the city's development in a single object: from settlement to metropolis.
From city limits to skyline
Unique to the City Vase is its use of the city's historic silhouette. The base of the vase often reflects the original city boundaries, formed by ramparts, waterways, or ancient trade routes. As the vase rises, its shapes follow the urban expansion: new neighborhoods, industrial zones, modern architecture. This creates a layered profile that literally reflects the city's growth.
Together we make the world more beautiful!
