KDEEK.COM / JAPANESE METAL OBJECTS
Japanese Stainless Steel Vases & Candle Holders
A design guide to bringing the quiet character of Japanese metalwork into a modern living space.
Made in Sapporo, Hokkaido, KDEEK OBJECTS combine a brushed stainless steel finish with carefully placed color, line and negative space. These objects are intended as small, sculptural accents rather than mass-produced decoration.

Choosing the right form
VASE — 81 × 81 × 162 mm. The taller, square-profile form works well on a console table, a dining shelf or an entrance cabinet. For fresh flowers, check the product page for water-resistance and use a suitable watertight inner vessel where needed.
CANDLE HOLDER — 81 × 81 × 81 mm. The compact cube brings a lower visual center of gravity to a table or shelf. It has an open top and ventilation holes on its four sides. Follow the product-specific safety instructions when using a tealight; candles and photographic props are not included unless the product page expressly says otherwise.
Three creative worlds
KDEEK OBJECTS is organized into DESIGN, NATURE and CULTURE. Navy, black and ochre form the core palette against brushed stainless steel; vermilion is reserved as a small accent when a motif genuinely calls for red.

How to style them
One object, enough space. Leave room around a vase or candle holder so the brushed finish catches changing daylight. A single piece on a narrow shelf can be more effective than a crowded arrangement.
Pair tall and low forms. A vase and a candle holder use the same square footprint, but the vase is twice as tall. This contrast creates a composed display without requiring matching artwork.
Let the material do the work. Navy and ochre details can complement wood, stone and neutral textiles. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to care for the surface, and follow the instructions for each object.
Ordering from outside Japan
KDEEK OBJECTS are primarily offered through pre-orders because each production run follows a planned workshop schedule. Product pages show the current reservation period and expected dispatch window. Delivery destinations and shipping charges depend on the order and address; available countries, payment methods, import duties and the final total should be checked before placing an order.
Frequently asked questions about KDEEK stainless steel objects
Can I put water directly into a KDEEK stainless steel vase?
For fresh flowers, use a suitable glass liner inside the stainless steel VASE. The decorative metal body itself should not be assumed to be watertight.
What is the difference between a KDEEK vase and a candle holder?
Both have a square 81 × 81 mm footprint. The VASE is approximately 162 mm tall and has no side ventilation holes; the CANDLE HOLDER is approximately 81 mm tall and has eight 9 mm holes on each side. Both have an open top.
