Copenhagen-based artist/designer Marie Liebhardt’s Flaws collection is inspired by the evolution of a city’s “skin,” and how materials deteriorate to create a uniquely patinated surface. On the street you might not notice such textures, but Liebhardt’s aim with the design of these vases is to bring attention to these wabi-sabi qualities.

The effect is achieved by pouring multiple, ultra-thin layers of colored porcelain into molds; during the drying process, portions of the layers stay with the mold, while others adhere to the vase, resulting in a completely randomized surface, similar in appearance to aging walls.
