MATERIAL · ORIGIN · EVERYDAY LIVING

Design with roots.
Made in Germany.

We make our vases in-house in Germany. Their light material, pronounced structure and interplay of light and shadow define their character.

What goes into our vases.

  • Made in-house

    Designed, made and dispatched from our premises in Germany.

  • Bio-based PLA

    The vase body is made from a plastic based on renewable raw materials.

  • 100% renewable electricity

    Our production uses solar electricity generated on site and renewable electricity purchased from the grid.

BIO-BASED PLA

Light to hold.
Distinctive to look at.

The body of our vases is made from polylactide, or PLA. This plastic is produced using renewable raw materials. The vase body is neither ceramic nor glass. The vases are deliberately designed as lightweight objects.

Additive manufacturing through 3D printing makes the distinctive surface possible. Its lines and recesses shape the way the light falls and can also be felt by touch. The low weight makes it easy to move the vase when rearranging your décor.

“Bio-based” describes the origin of the raw materials. It does not automatically mean that a finished product belongs in an organic waste bin or on a garden compost heap.

MADE IN GERMANY

Our design.
Our responsibility.

ICONIC HOME designs are developed and made in-house. We also handle packaging, dispatch and customer service. This means we look after our vases ourselves, from the initial idea to your order.

We produce in small batches according to demand. ICONIC HOME is backed by Designscape Creative GmbH in Germany.

ELECTRICITY FOR OUR PRODUCTION

Solar electricity from our own roof.
Supplemented by renewable electricity.

We use 100% renewable electricity to make our vases. Some comes from the photovoltaic system on our premises. Storage allows us to use the electricity we generate at a later time, too.

When solar generation and storage do not cover our needs, we purchase additional renewable electricity.

FOR FLOWERS AND EVERYDAY LIVING

The vase gives it form.
The insert holds the water.

Our flower vases come with a removable, watertight insert. For fresh flowers, pour water only into this insert. The printed vase body itself is not watertight.

With dried flowers, a few branches or nothing at all, the vase can take on a different look each time. Our diffuser vases have a separate glass insert for room fragrance. The relevant product page shows which inserts are included with your model.

Lost the insert? Keep the vase.

You can also obtain the matching insert separately through our customer service team. Please give us your order number or the model and size of your vase.

Carefully packed. Ready to use again.

  • Paper instead of plastic cushioning

    We use recycled paper rather than plastic cushioning to protect your vase in transit. It arrives in a sturdy shipping box.

  • A bag to keep

    The included bag can be reused – for example, to store your vase when you change your décor.

  • Direct contact

    We ship with DHL. For questions about your order or an insert, you can contact our customer service team directly.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND ICONIC HOME

One idea.
A personal commitment.

Nicolas Woll founded ICONIC HOME and designed the five vase models. Behind the brand is Designscape, a company that brings together design, in-house production and customer service.

In the interview, he shares how a personal gift idea became the collection and what matters to him when designing.

GOOD TO KNOW

So you can enjoy your vase for longer.

How do I clean the vase body?

Remove dust with a soft, lint-free duster or a clean, soft brush. If needed, gently clean the vase body with lukewarm water.

The vase itself must not go in the dishwasher. The transparent water insert and the glass insert for the diffuser vase can, however, be cleaned in the dishwasher at up to 65 °C.

Where should I place my vase?

Choose an indoor spot away from heat sources and strong direct sunlight. Temperatures can rise particularly high behind window glass.

At 40 °C and above, the material may deform. Avoid these temperatures. The vases are not intended for permanent outdoor use.

Can bio-based PLA go on the compost heap?

No. “Bio-based” and “compostable” describe different properties. Our vase belongs neither on a garden compost heap nor in an organic waste bin.

Even theoretical recyclability does not tell you whether your local waste service actually processes the material separately. Follow local disposal rules for the vase body and the relevant insert.

General information is available from the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt).

What should I do if I am unsure about my vase?

Send our customer service team a short description and a photo. For questions about the material, surface or inserts, your order number and the model and size are also helpful.
