Bloom Vase

With its softly scalloped ridges and slender, elongated silhouette, the Bloom Vase evokes the delicate unfolding of a flower. Its gently undulating contours create a play of light and shadow, giving the piece an organic, almost botanical presence.

Handcrafted by a team of 14 women artisans in Eswatini, the vase is made from recycled newspaper transformed into paper pulp. Shaped entirely by hand, each piece dries naturally in the sun for four to six weeks. This slow process allows its distinctive surface to emerge, with an irregular, mineral-like texture and subtle tonal variations that lend the humble material the depth and character of clay. No two vases are exactly alike.

Style the Bloom Vase with a single sculptural branch or a few dried stems to accentuate its graceful proportions. Whether placed on a mantelpiece, a windowsill or at the centre of a dining table, it brings a quiet sense of movement and natural elegance to the interior.

Currently available in Clay and Charcoal, it works beautifully as a sculptural statement on its own or as a vessel for a few carefully chosen branches or dried stems.

Paper pulp
To use with flowers, place a glass vase inside and curate it with a few striking elements.

No two pieces are ever quite alike. Texture, tone and finish shift slightly from one to the next, a mark of the hand behind it.

Who made it?

The artisans behind your product

A woman crouches in a gallery space holding a terracotta-colored sculptural vase. The room features minimalist columns, a concrete floor, and other decorative ceramic vases displayed on pedestals in the background and to the right.

Our partner

The woman-led social enterprise in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) crafts superb objects entirely made from 100% waste newspaper from a local magazine distributor. Experimental yet profoundly anchored in the majestic archetypical shapes of the African Continent, it manifests the encounter of imagination and heritage.

A unique texture

While the collection looks like ceramics, every object is crafted from the paper pulp made in the workshop, then sundried during 4-6 weeks before it reaches us. The irregular texture and the colours originate from the landscapes of Southern Africa, giving the sculptural objects a strong presence and timelessness.

Empowering women

All the products are handmade by women who are employed full time at the workshop with permanent contracts.  The team loves to collaborate and create - if you are an interior designer interested in bespoke colours or shapes, we can develop these together!

Light & Powerful

The expressiveness of the collections from Eswatini stuns us and as new objects appear, we are impressed by their strength and powerful presence. The collection encompasses lighting, objects and jewellery, all made from paper pulp with water-based varnish, fully sustainable and impactful in every sense.
