Blow Away Vase

Ceramic vase by Stockholm-based design firm Front .

Originally intended to be a computer game graphic until Marcel Wanders' furniture label Moooi picked it up and decided to have it produced commercially.

Made by Royal Delft, it looks like a traditional blue and white Delft vase being blown into oblivion by a strong wind.

It's on display in the new ceramic galleries at London's Victoria and Albert Museum, whose ceramics curator Reino Leifkes said in an article in last weekend's Financial Times, "they've taken a traditional handmade object and have used the most technically advanced design technology to take it apart and simulate how it would react to a gust of wind."
