Chalk decorative vase Mandore L - 37.5x37.5x35 cm

Are you looking for a vase that exudes peace and purity?
This vase is a beautiful example of how minimalist design and robust texture come together. Thanks to its unique mix of materials, the vase has a matte, stone-like appearance that is surprisingly lightweight. The soft, organic shape provides a beautiful contrast to the raw finish, adding an immediate warm and earthy accent to your interior. It's not just a home accessory; it's a piece of art that shows that beauty often lies in the simplest, most honest materials.

The heart of this product is "ecomix," a sustainable innovation that we at Raw Materials are very enthusiastic about. The vases are made from an ecomix consisting of old newspapers, chalk powder, and glue in varying percentages. The process begins with old newspapers that are first soaked in water and then ground into pulp. This pulp is mixed with chalk powder and a natural glue made from melted tree resin. This mixture is pounded into sheets with a wooden hammer and pressed into a plaster mold. Because these molds can only be used 10 to 12 times, each item remains exclusive. After days of air-drying and treatment with a protective sealer, a vase is created that is both ecologically and economically responsible. It is a beautiful interplay of natural materials and skilled craftsmanship.

Because this vase is made of papier-mâché and chalk, it requires specific treatment. The most important thing to remember: the vase is not waterproof. Therefore, use it exclusively as a decorative object or fill it with beautiful dried flowers and branches. To keep the color and matte finish beautiful, dusting with a dry, soft cloth or a feather duster is sufficient. Avoid damp areas and direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. This way, the artisanal character of the material will be preserved for years.

Imagine: it's a cloudy afternoon, you light a few candles, and the shadows dance softly on your walls. On your favorite dresser stands this vase, filled with a few large, dried cow parsley branches or a bunch of linen-colored dried grass. The light, sandy color of the vase stands out against a dark background, or blends beautifully into a minimalist, Scandinavian corner. The rough surface of the vase invites you to touch it and brings a sense of calm and nature into the room. It is the perfect item to create a 'still life' with a few other natural objects, such as a rough wooden board or a beautiful stone.
