Bloom Vase

A series of softly scalloped ridges gives the Bloom Vase its distinctive aesthetics and character. Handmade from recycled newspaper pulp in Eswatini, its organic form transforms a humble material into a striking contemporary object.

Crafted by a team of 14 women artisans, each vase is shaped entirely by hand and then naturally sun-dried for four to six weeks. The long drying process allows the characteristic irregular texture and subtle variations in tone to emerge, giving every piece its own individual character.

Inspired by the landscapes of Southern Africa, the Bloom Vase has a powerful yet timeless presence. Currently vailable inย 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.

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

Dimensions:
12cm D x 40cm Hย 
22cm D including sides

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. ย 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.
