DEMO HOUR: Vase en Puissance

Inspired by the sabrage of champagne—a radical and enjoyable action—Vase en Puissance is a hermetic container made of blown glass that must be deliberately broken. To do this, a simple electrical kit is provided to break the neck of the vase. It encourages users to develop transgressive and liberating behaviors in everyday life.

A wire arranged in the groove of the vase is heated by the cutting device, making a clean cut of the glass by thermal shock.
