Judging by his work the designer Jonathan Adler clearly believes this. The Metropolis is a remarkable piece of retro-modernism which, as its name suggests, references the iconic robot of the classic German expressionist silent movie. Its face is subtly revised to echo the surrealist art of the period and replaces the menace of the original with a quirky, cheerful expression. The stone-grey glaze gives a soft, warm tone to this elegant and charming piece.
I love this Jonathan Adler vase for its bold, sculptural presence and playful design. It’s versatile enough to sit as a standalone statement or to complement a curated collection of smaller accessories. This piece works particularly well in contemporary or eclectic interiors where its quirky, modern character can really shine. Practical styling tips include pairing it with bright, fresh flowers like the yellow billy balls pictured, or leaving it empty to showcase its striking form. Place it at eye level on sideboards, shelves, or mantels to make the most of its eye-catching geometry and add a sense of modern sophistication to your space.
