If you worry about ornamental items in the kitchen getting dropped - or the kids getting at them - then these red vases could be for you. They're made out of rubber.

They're very stylish to look at and you'll want to touch them too. Clever design using unusual material from Henrietta Melchiorsen at Menu.
