Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

I’m a sucker for home décor items that do tricks. I.D. just started carrying this very cool new “Flex Vase,” by Arjan van Raadshooven and Anieke Branderhorst for VIJ5. Made of porcelain, it consists of a base with three different inserts, so whether your sweetie brings you a single tulip or a bunch of lillies, you’re covered. It’s $335, but think of it as three vases for the price of one.
