The Nordic Metal Swirl Vase is a slim, sculptural vessel wrapped in a deep spiral of ridges that twist from base to flared rim. Made of metal in a pearlescent finish, it reads as quiet modern art whether left empty or holding dried stems. Choose white, red, or black to suit a living room, entryway console, mantel, or bookshelf.
Why we chose it
- Sculptural swirl form — continuous spiral ridges give it presence from every angle.
- Made of metal — a solid, substantial vessel rather than lightweight resin or plastic.
- Three colorways — white, red, and black to match light, bold, or graphic interiors.
- Flared fluted rim — the petal-like opening softens the strong vertical lines.
- Slim footprint — narrow base fits shelves, consoles, and tabletops without crowding.
- Styles empty or filled — a standalone object that also suits dried or faux stems.
Design story
We were drawn to this piece for the way a single repeating gesture — the swirl — turns a simple vase into something sculptural. It belongs to the pared-back Nordic and minimalist tradition, where one strong form does the work and color stays restrained. We kept all three factory colorways because each one changes the mood: white for calm neutral rooms, black for graphic contrast, red for a deliberate accent.
Materials & details
The vase is made of metal, formed into a twisting ribbed body that rises to a fluted, flared mouth. The surface carries a soft pearlescent sheen that catches light along each ridge. It is offered in three colors — white, red, and black — with the same swirl form across all three.
How to style it
Living room
Set it on a console or coffee table as a standalone sculptural object, or fill it with dried pampas, branches, or faux stems for height. The white reads soft and airy; the black anchors a more graphic, contrast-led scheme.
Entryway
Place it on a narrow hall console beside a tray and a small lamp. The slim base keeps the surface usable for keys and mail while the swirl adds a sculptural welcome.
Mantel or shelf
Use it as a vertical accent among books and framed art. The red version makes a confident single pop of color against neutral walls and joinery.
Dining room
Center it on a sideboard or dining table, on its own or paired with a low bowl, to bring quiet movement to the setting.
Care & maintenance
Dust with a soft dry cloth, following the direction of the ridges to reach into the grooves. Wipe with a barely damp cloth if needed and dry promptly. If you display fresh stems, use a watertight liner or a slim glass insert inside the vase, and keep it out of prolonged direct moisture.

Frequently asked questions
What is the vase made of?
It is made of metal, formed into the twisting ribbed body and fluted rim. We describe it only as metal because that is what the maker specifies.
Which color should I choose?
White suits calm, neutral, and Scandinavian rooms; black brings graphic contrast and works well against light walls; red is a deliberate accent for adding a single pop of color. All three share the same swirl form.
Can I put fresh flowers and water in it?
We recommend using a watertight liner or a slim glass insert for fresh stems with water. It also looks complete on its own or with dried and faux stems.
How do I clean it?
Dust with a soft dry cloth along the ridges, and wipe with a barely damp cloth if needed, then dry promptly.
How big is it?
It is a slim, tabletop-scale vessel that suits consoles, shelves, and mantels. The maker does not specify exact measurements, so we have not published a size to avoid guessing.
