Price History
Description
Block Design’s Large Reversible Vase is both a functional vessel and a sculptural object. Crafted from borosilicate glass, its geometric form can be flipped to suit a full bouquet or a single stem as arrangements evolve. Layered shapes and subtle colour create visual depth, enhanced when filled with water. Designed to adapt over time, it’s a considered piece that brings quiet impact to any setting.
Our Stylist Says
I love this reversible vase because of its striking colour contrast and versatile design. It works particularly well in modern or contemporary interiors, adding a pop of colour to neutral schemes or complementing bold, vibrant décors. Its dual tones make it easy to style in various arrangements-simple single stems or delicate arrangements of wildflowers can look especially effective. For practical styling, consider placing it on a minimalist console or shelf to let its colours stand out, and switch the vase’s orientation for different looks depending on your mood or season. Its playful yet sophisticated aesthetic makes it an adaptable piece that can elevate a variety of spaces.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
