Marimekko’s Urna is a beautiful, cylinder-shaped vase designed by Carina Seth Andersson. Due to its generous size and lightweight appearance, the Urna vase is ideal for flower bouquets but works as an eye-catching stand-alone piece of décor, as well.
The Urna vase is available in many different colours that create a stunning visual display when paired together. In the transparent 'aqua' colour, the blue-green hue is most visible where the glass is the thickest.
