TMG5 Vase

Michael Graves

Designed by renowned architect and designer Michael Graves, the TMG5 vase was created in 1997 for Alessi’s Tendentse collection. Crafted from high-quality glazed porcelain, it exemplifies postmodern design, blending classical European forms with playful, graphic motifs. Graves—best known for his architectural landmarks and contributions to everyday design—infuses the piece with his signature mix of Art Deco influences and American Pop sensibility. The result is a sculptural, decorative object that bridges architecture and product design, and remains a collectible icon of Alessi’s experimental 1990s era.
