The Nacre mosaic vase is crafted from natural Capiz shell—a valuable marine material known for its natural translucency, distinctive luster, and durability, historically used in decorative arts and architecture.

For centuries, Capiz shell has been used in traditional window panels and decorative elements in historic churches and heritage buildings across Southeast Asia, renowned for its resilience and natural beauty. In this piece, small shell fragments are carefully cut by skilled artisans and assembled in a mosaic arrangement, creating a luminous, textured surface that softly reflects light.
In contemporary interior design, Capiz shell objects are appreciated for their ability to introduce a soft glow and organic texture into a space. The reflective surface of this vase interacts beautifully with ambient light, functioning not only as a vessel for flowers but also as a sculptural decorative element.
Placing it on a console, coffee table, dining table, or decorative shelf adds a layer of refinement and natural materiality to the space. In 2026 interior design trends, the use of natural materials and handcrafted pieces remains a defining element of luxury design.

Due to the durability of Capiz shell and its time-intensive crafting process, such pieces are typically considered decorative items that retain their value over time.

This piece is part of the Nacre collection.
