Barely in their thirties, brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are the rising stars of European design, and their new fiberglass TV Vase shows why, turning an ordinary flower into a 21st century still life. The effect is powerful enough to make you do a double take: Is it real life or high-def? “The vase is a frame in which everything is controlled: background, light and color,” say these Parisian designers. “It means seeing a flower, almost deified—seeing it perfectly and seeing only that.” Best of all: no commercials. —Ian Daly
