Kinetic vases by oculta studio at Milan Design Week 2025
Oculta Studio presents Kinetic Vases at Milan Design Week 2025, reinterpreting traditional ceramic vases by introducing movement and transformation. Typically displayed in museums, preserved behind glass in a static state, historical vases serve as the foundation for this exploration of change and reconfiguration. By reimagining these traditionally inert objects, the design aims to create vessels that transform from within, shifting into entirely new sculptural forms.

Oculta Studio explores continuous transformation of material
First unveiled during Mexico City Art Week 2025, Kinetic Vases by creative studio Oculta are set to be displayed at Isola District from April 7th to 13th as part of Milan Design Week. These pieces challenge conventional notions of permanence and form by incorporating kinetic elements that alter their structure. The design reflects themes of fragility and evolution, bridging historical artifacts with contemporary reinterpretations. Through controlled fractures and shifting forms, the vases demonstrate the impermanence of physical objects and the continuous transformation of material and memory.
