Mold-growing is a centuries-old agricultural and craft technique documented in China and practiced by gourd growers around the world today, here, it becomes a way to explore how an ancient natural material can take on a contemporary design language. Fitted with a removable water insert, the piece can hold fresh flowers and serves as a sculptural accent for contemporary living spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haoying Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48590930706630,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6851\/8086\/files\/Zhang.Haoying.TheFlatVase-Haoying.jpg?v=1793544942"},{"product_id":"the-kintsugi-vase","title":"The Kintsugi Vase","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kintsugi Vase explores the use of a traditional ceramic repair technique as a way to preserve, rather than disguise, the natural character of the gourd. By carefully joining the broken shell with minimal intervention, the repair allows evidence of the maker’s hand to blend with the gourd’s existing form, surface, and imperfections rather than overwrite them. Celebrating repair as part of the object’s continuing life while allowing the natural material to remain visually dominant, the piece works especially well as a sculptural accent on a bookshelf, coffee table, or entryway console.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haoying Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48590930804934,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6851\/8086\/files\/Zhang.Haoying.TheBrokenVase-Haoying_345e54ff-03cd-4b21-9e44-1f282761df54.png?v=1793544996"},{"product_id":"re-assembled-vase","title":"Re-Assembled Vase","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Reassembled Vase is made from a single bottle gourd, carefully marked, cut into individual tesserae, labeled, and reassembled in their original sequence to preserve the continuous natural patina of the fruit. By reconstructing the lightweight, organic gourd into an inorganic, monumental form, the work draws attention to the parallel histories of gourds and ceramics—both among humanity’s earliest vessels, yet while ceramics survived to be collected and studied, much of the gourd’s material history disappeared through natural decomposition. Waterproof and functional for fresh flowers, the vessel brings this overlooked material history back into contemporary domestic life as a sculptural accent for a dining table, coffee table, or entryway.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haoying Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48590930837702,"sku":null,"price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6851\/8086\/files\/Zhang.Haoying.ReAssemble-Haoying.jpg?v=1793545016"},{"product_id":"bumpy-pendant","title":"Bumpy Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese lamps are made from a single naturally cured gourd found at a gourd farm in Maryland.
