Bamboo Grove is a collection of mouth-blown glass vases that can be overturned and filled with flowers at both ends created by Italian designer Anna Perugini.
The design student made the set of coloured glass vases in a range of heights using the Japanese technique known as lampworking.  Each one can be flipped over for a different display depth.

Each vase consists of two sections,  one shallower than the other. They can hold flowers or small succulents as well as objects such as tea light candles, depending on their size.
The collection takes cues from the jointed culms, or stems, of bamboo trees which are common to Asia.
Perugini crafted the vases using lampworking The vases were produced by Perugini for German and Italian glassmaking specialist Ichendorf.
"A couple of years ago I went on a solo trip to Japan. During a hike in the mountains, I passed a bamboo grove," said Perugini, who is a student at Design Academy Eindhoven.
"I had never seen one before, and was impressed by the height of the bamboo trees. They looked like really long flower stems," the designer told Dezeen.

The vases were made by lampworking, a traditional glasswork method where a torch is used to heat the glass to a molten state, after which it can be shaped using hand and mouth movements.
