Internationally acknowledged ceramist and sculptor Naja Utzon Popov has created an organically shaped vase that directly addresses our collective longing for authenticity, simplicity and nature. The Magnolia vase, inspired by the flowers of the magnolia tree. She inherited her creative genes from her grandfather, Jørn Utzon, a Danish architect known for designing the iconic Sydney Opera House in Australia; her mother, prominent Danish artist Lin Utzon; and her father, acclaimed Australian architect Alex Popov.
The surface of the Magnolia vase is matt and tactile, in beautiful contrast with the smooth, glazed interior surfaces. The shape is just as accommodating and organic as the material, and the new Magnolia vase by Sibast Furniture exemplifies the nature-inspired design of ceramist Naja Utzon Popov.
Magnolia is a ceramic vase and is available in white or black.

WITH CREATIVE GENES FROM HER GRANDFATHER JØRN UTZON
The Magnolia vase has equal measures of utmost simplicity and evident complexity, exactly like the upward reaching flower of the magnolia tree, Naja Utzon Popov’s source of inspiration. The ceramic vase is oval in shape, opening up with a slanted, frazzled edge to create an illusion of continued growth. According to Naja Utzon Popov, the slanted edge means that flowers naturally move towards an ideal space for blossoming.
“The underlying idea of Magnolia was basically a vase with the same sculptural values inherent in a work of one-off craft art. The vase represents my artistic expression because the final result is based on my hands, not a drawing – it notably appears alive without a predefined conclusion, as the idea is to represent a flowering movement of sorts, a beginning, and mobility” by Naja Utzon Popov
