Description

Eco-friendly bowl brings news of a better world. Adapted from a traditional basket-making technique, this piece is made using recycled magazines and posters discarded from a printing company. Artisans form the paper into flat strips, dip them in a glue mixture and hang them to dry. After this they re-wet the strips and coil them into a bowl form. The strips are held together with the glue, forming a sturdy vessel. Recycled magazines – 2Lx2Wx1.5H inches – Handcrafted in Vietnam
