Vases in Composite Materials

What Is the Difference Between a Fibre Cement Vase and a Resin Vase?

These two materials share a contemporary aesthetic and greater durability than traditional materials, but they are suited to slightly different uses.

The fibre cement vase is the more versatile of the two. Its composition gives it exceptional resistance to temperature variations, up to more than 30°C, making it perfectly suitable for outdoor use on a terrace, in a veranda, or in an exposed garden.

It can hold water and therefore fresh flowers, dried stems, or artificial flowers without any restriction.

The resin vase, on the other hand, is more specifically designed for indoor use and pairs ideally with artificial bouquets or decorative stems rather than with water and fresh flowers.

At Sia Deco, both materials are offered in carefully selected shapes and colours designed to complement the most refined contemporary interiors.

Why Are Composite Materials More Durable Than Traditional Materials?

This is one of the main reasons why we chose to develop this collection at Sia Deco.

Fibre cement and resin are composite materials, meaning they are made from several components whose properties complement and reinforce one another.

Where ceramic may crack or chip, glass may shatter, and plastic may age poorly or fade, fibre cement and resin:

• absorb impacts
• resist UV exposure
• withstand humidity
• tolerate temperature changes without deteriorating

A vase made from composite materials does not lose its appeal over time. It retains its appearance, colour, and strength year after year, even with intensive use.

It is a lasting decorative investment — the opposite of fragile objects that need frequent replacement.

Choosing a fibre cement or resin vase means choosing an object designed to last through seasons and trends without ever losing decorative relevance.

Can a Fibre Cement Vase Be Used Outdoors?

Yes — and this is one of its greatest advantages.

Fibre cement comes from the world of architecture and urban design, created to withstand demanding weather conditions.

Unlike ceramic, which may crack in frost, or plastic, which may warp and fade under UV rays, fibre cement retains both its look and strength season after season.

Our fibre cement vases can therefore be used confidently:

• on exposed terraces
• in bright verandas
• directly in the garden

Even in temperatures above 30°C.

Their lightly textured surface, reminiscent of raw concrete or natural stone, creates immediate architectural presence and works equally well in minimalist interiors or contemporary gardens.

To style them, discover our artificial flowers and stem bouquets, which are also perfectly suited to outdoor use.

What Flowers or Plants Can Be Used in Fibre Cement or Resin Vases?

Fibre Cement Vases

All options are possible:

• Fresh flowers with water
• Dried stems
• Artificial flowers
• Artificial plants used as decorative inserts

The material’s durability allows complete flexibility.

Resin Vases

We recommend water-free arrangements such as:

• Dried stems
• Artificial bouquets
• Decorative stem bouquets

These alternatives offer striking realism, require no maintenance, and keep their beauty indefinitely.

At Sia Deco, our artificial floral collection has been designed to pair naturally with our vases, with carefully chosen colours and heights to create effortless harmonious arrangements.

What Aesthetic Do These Vases Bring to an Interior?

Fibre cement and resin share what could be described as a contemporary organic aesthetic.

Fibre Cement

With its textured surface and natural tones, fibre cement reflects the wabi-sabi trend and raw décor styles that celebrate imperfection and authenticity.

Resin

Smoother and more uniform, resin allows bolder shapes and varied finishes, from deep matte to soft satin.

Both materials pair beautifully with:

• linen
• rattan
• raw wood
• stone

They fit naturally into:

• Scandinavian minimalist living rooms
• Country houses with stone walls
• Mediterranean terraces

The Sia Deco colour palette includes today’s most sought-after shades:

• Sandy beige
• Off-white
• Slate grey
• Terracotta
• Deep brown

How to Style a Fibre Cement or Resin Vase

A fibre cement or resin vase often looks beautiful on its own, empty on a shelf or console.

But it reveals its full potential when paired with the right floral composition.

Tall Cylindrical Vase

Choose long, graphic stems such as:

• Pampas grass
• Thistle stems
• Willow branches

Wide Rounded Vase

Choose dome-shaped compositions with generous round artificial bouquets.

Styling Tip

Group several vases of different sizes together to create an organic composition, playing with heights and textures.

Pair them with:

• Artificial flowers
• Stem bouquets
• Artificial plants
