Maybe it's because I'm as classy as a Celebrity Love Island refugee that I've previously used pint glasses and jam jars as impromptu vases. Or maybe it's because I'm a vase pioneer - a title I'll have as my epitaph, please - like the RCA's Tomek Rygalik. The clever graduate designer's latest wheeze is a 'vase lid' that converts any water-holding receptacle into a gorgeous, highly individual vase - an ingenious form of recycling that uses what you've already got lying around the house. You can't buy this from ye little shoppes yet, but I'll post some more details from Tomek shortly. Tomek Rygalik's website [currently down].
