Flowers? For me? Stop wondering when he'll get you some with this hand vase from Harry Allen that's always ready to hold out fresh flowers for you.

Creepy and yet beautiful

As a florist this is most def, the most creepy amazing unique approach to a modern single vase i have ever seen !!!! Brilliant

This polyester resin cast is of designer Harry Allen's hand! Holds a vase or a candlestick for your wall mounted wall art pleasure. Definitely sure to surprise visitors and a classy design tough. Three of these lining a hallway? Fantastic.

such a bad ass candle holder. will give major character to any wall.

Remember that scene from Jean Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast" when Bete first goes into the beast's castle, and human hands decorate the walls of the castle, holding candles? Or the scene in Willy Wonka (the original of course) when hands grab the visitors coats...well, Harry Allen remembers. Part of his reality series, where real objects are re-cast in resin, these hands (cast from Allen's own) have a multitude of functions. Bestow comes with a candle holder as well as a glass vase, Om has his fingers gently grasping a stick of incense. Grab gives you the option of hanging objects or cloths from all 5 digits (and throw your cellphone into its palm), whereas C'mere provides a inviting finger to hang stuff from. Finally, offer gives you a small flat shelf. So many possibilities - we use grab as a bathroom soap dish - yes, they are waterproof and washable as well! Comes with mounting hardware - two screws are all that's needed.

A bunch of these lined up in one of those NYC super long entrance hallways would be awesome! Like a scene from Jean Cocteau's La Belle et La Bete.

Harry Allen takes art and function to an entirely new level with his Reality series. Ever want to shake the hand of a favorite designer? How about casting that designer’s hand into a form that will hold a bundle of flowers, or your coat, or your keys, or maybe even your incense? Yes, that is what Harry Allen has done with his hand as well as a number of other everyday and not so common items. Each piece provides not only something remarkable to look at but also offers a practical purpose. In honor of our “DP Gorilla Days,” maybe we should consider complementing our pet gorilla with a gold plated banana bowl. Just a thought. (via Design Public)
