Dinosaur Designs unveils handcrafted Orchid Vase

Dinosaur Designs has created a new handmade vase that draws its language directly from nature. The Orchid Vase captures the fluid, organic curves of the orchid flower, translating its delicate petals and sinuous stem into resin, that tactile material the studio has mastered across decades.

Working in resin allows for a sculptural freedom that feels essential to this piece. The vase emerges as something between vessel and art object, its form suggesting the unfolding geometry of the blossom without literalness. Each piece is made by hand in the Sydney studio, meaning subtle variations in tone and translucency become part of its individual character. The resin catches light differently depending on angle and time of day, revealing depth within the material itself.

Dinosaur Designs has long celebrated the intersection of function and form, creating objects that serve daily life while offering the kind of visual quietude that elevates a room. The Orchid Vase belongs to this lineage; it functions as a home for cut flowers or exists equally well as a sculptural statement on its own. The handmade quality means no two versions are quite identical, each one a singular interpretation of the same botanical inspiration.

The studio’s commitment to resin as a medium runs deep. Working with the material demands precision, patience and an understanding of how colour, opacity and translucence interact. The Orchid Vase demonstrates this expertise, presenting a form that feels weightless despite its physical presence, organic despite its crafted nature.

For collectors drawn to objects that marry beauty with utility, pieces that reward close looking and belong equally in a minimalist interior or a more layered, curated space, the Orchid Vase offers the kind of quiet sophistication Dinosaur Designs has long championed. It is available through the studio.
