Look closer at the multicolored stripes of this decorative vase. Using traditional basket-making technique, innovative Vietnamese artisans make this vase from recycled magazine and poster paper. The tightly coiled paper is dipped in glue to form this sturdy eco-friendly vase. Glass liner included.

Adapted from a traditional basket-making technique, this piece is made using recycled magazines and posters discarded from a printing company. Artisans working with Mai Handicrafts in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 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.
