Actus is a renowned Japanese furniture and lifestyle brand, offering European-inspired design and high-quality home goods through more than 70 stores across Japan.

Swedish Style × Time & Style × Orrefors × Claesson Koivisto Rune | Black Hole Vase

Designed by the acclaimed Swedish architecture studio Claesson Koivisto Rune, in collaboration with Sweden’s legendary glassworks Orrefors, this unique object pushes the very limits of glass craftsmanship.

Geometrical, pure, and monumental, the vase redefines what such an object can be. Measuring 60 cm in diameter, it is heavy yet seemingly weightless — resting firmly while appearing to float. As described by its creators:

“Dark, black, yet transparent enough to glimpse within — The Black Hole Vase connects the history of human cultural evolution with the spirit of future discovery.”

This story bridges a century of Swedish innovation. In 1925, Orrefors achieved its international breakthrough at the Paris World Expo. One hundred years later, at Expo Osaka, the same values continue to resonate: innovation, functionality, craftsmanship, timeless aesthetics, and sustainable quality.

Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, this revival is spearheaded by Svensk Form and the Swedish Institute, in collaboration with the Embassy of Sweden, Business Sweden, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and long-standing Japanese partners including The Conran Shop. The Conran Shop invites their customers to experience the Nordic design philosophy—celebrating simplicity, nature, and timeless craftsmanship.
