Description
Structural in shape the Crevasse vase from Alessi cleverly uses different shaped edges and angles to create the illusion that the vase is twisted. At a tall 42cm it's perfect for creating a dramatic display of long-stemmed flowers. It was designed for Alessi by Zaha Hadid, an Iraqi-born architect who studied in London and went on to teach in Vienna and the USA. Her projects ranged from the Mind Zone at the Millennium Dome in London, a tram station in Strasbourg and a ski jump in Innsbruck. Whilst the pieces she designed for Alessi are few they are united in their intricate structural forms.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
