With Misses Flower Power, Philippe Starck and Eugeni Quitlet have created a floor vase in oversized measures. With a height of 167 centimetres Misses Flower Power is more a decoration object than a classic vase, despite the fact that an insert enables its usage for plants and flowers.

Background of the Misses Flower Power Floor Vase the desire from Philippe Starck and Kartell was it to create an oversized object that reaches colourful effects with strong visual action. For this aim, Kartell used a manufacturing method that hasn’t been tested until then: the rotation moulding method has been used for the first time with transparent polycarbonate for Misses Flower Power. This enabled the manufacturing of the vase and the integrated insert out of one piece.

Misses Flower Power is available in a transparent or dyed through polycarbonate. Kartell itself describes the irregular surface of the floor vase as “glass effect in the Vintage style”. The seamlessly integrated insert of the Vase is suitable for soil and water and thereby as well for flowers. The round base from Misses Flower Power ensures secure stand and is adapted to the vase’s corpus regarding the colour.
