Information
The Delta Vase by Mart van Schijndel is an iconic example of Dutch design from the eighties. Van Schijndel designed this design vase in 1981, and approached the vase as an architectural design. Instead of traditional blown glass, he 'built' the vase from three identical glass plates of 2mm thickness, which are glued together.
'Triangle Vase'
The Delta vase was revolutionary upon its introduction and earned Van Schijndel international recognition. In 1984 he won the prestigious '5th Arango International Design Contest – Glass That Works' in Miami with this design. Since then, the triangular vase has been included in the collections of leading museums, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Since the 1980s, the vase has also been known in the Netherlands as the 'triangle vase' or 'triangle vase'. The popularity of the design led to countless imitations at the time, which underlines the leading status of the Delta Vase.
Dutch design vase
The original Delta Vase is still made by hand in the Netherlands to this day. Each copy has an engraved signature by Mart van Schijndel, a practical detail that once served to protect against counterfeiting, but is now a beautiful detail on the vase.
Although this Dutch design vase is often regarded as an art object, Van Schijndel himself saw it primarily as what it is: a functional 'flower carrier', which effortlessly finds its place in the interior even without flowers. Due to the size and shape, the vase is also very suitable for a standard bouquet.

De Delta Vaas van Mart van Schijndel is een iconisch voorbeeld van Nederlands design uit de jaren tachtig. Van Schijndel ontwierp deze design vaas in 1981, en benaderde de vaas als een bouwkundig ontwerp. In plaats van traditioneel geblazen glas ‘bouwde’ hij de vaas uit drie identieke glasplaten van 2mm dikte, die aan elkaar zijn verlijmd.
'Driehoek Vaas'
De Delta vaas was bij zijn introductie revolutionair en leverde Van Schijndel internationale erkenning op. In 1984 won hij met dit ontwerp de prestigieuze '5th Arango International Design Contest – Glass That Works' in Miami. Sindsdien is de driehoekige vaas opgenomen in de collecties van toonaangevende musea, waaronder het Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York, het Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam en Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. De vaas staat sinds de jaren '80 in Nederland ook wel bekend als de 'driehoek vaas' of 'triangel vaas'. De populariteit van het ontwerp leidde destijds tot talloze imitaties, wat de toonaangevende status van de Delta Vaas onderstreept.
Nederlandse design vaas
De originele Delta Vaas wordt tot op de dag van vandaag nog altijd met de hand gemaakt in Nederland. Elk exemplaar is voorzien van een gegraveerde handtekening van Mart van Schijndel, een praktisch detail dat ooit diende ter bescherming tegen namaak, maar nu een fraai detail is op de vaas.
Hoewel deze Nederlandse design vaas vaak als kunstobject wordt beschouwd, zag Van Schijndel het zelf vooral als wat het is: een functionele 'bloemendrager', die ook zonder bloemen moeiteloos zijn plek vindt in het interieur. Door de maat en de vorm is de vaas ook gewoon heel goed bruikbaar voor een gangbaar boeket.
