A glass vase by Yoichi Ohira will enter the Victoria & Albert Museum’s permanent collection after winning the Pavilion of Art & Design London Prize 2009.
The hand-blown glass piece, called Criastallo Sommerso No 48 Scolpito Vase, was created in 2008 by Italy-based designer-maker Ohira.
Ohira’s piece beat shortlisters Michael Eden and Atelier Van Lieshout to win the prize.
The award for best stand went to Paris-based furniture gallery Galerie Downtown, by François Laffanour.
The Pavilion of Art & Design continues until 18 October in London’s Berkeley Square, W1.
