The Hender Scheme Conical Beaker is part of the "science vase" product line, which reimagines existing industrial products by combining them with leather to create new functions. This specific item merges laboratory glassware, like beakers, with vegetable-tanned leather. This transformation shifts the object's use from a scientific tool to a vase or decorative object, moving its context from a laboratory to a living space. The aging process of the leather adds a unique temporal dimension not typically found in industrial products.
