Shiro Kuramata, “100% Make Up Vase”

This striking lidded vase by Shiro Kuramata was created for the 100% Make Up project curated by Alessandro Mendini for Alessi in 1992. Each piece in the series was produced in a limited edition, individually decorated, and uniquely composed. Kuramata’s design features a sleek, tapering silhouette adorned with colorful, irregular fragments reminiscent of terrazzo, giving the object both a playful and sophisticated presence. A rare collectible that beautifully reflects Kuramata’s poetic approach to form and material.
