Every vase eventually breaks. The Do Break cracks but does not shatter when it hits the floor. Not only can the vase still be used but it also gains in beauty as the cracks multiply to form a unique pattern. From now on, any lover's quarrel is an improvement.

Produced by Dhiren Bhagwandas and Justin Hutchinson as part of the State of Design Festival, the Before & After project serves to provide new perspectives on discarded objects, in regard to social, cultural and environmental issues. Exhibited at Eat Green Design 08, the project displayed the work of a diverse group of Australian designers who reinterpreted objects for dining into valued pieces, providing a commentary on today’s consumer culture: “more thought less material”.
