This vase is made from a mix of Papermache and Chalk Powder. Combine the vase with the other items from this collection. 15cm Diameter x 17cm Height MaterialsThe vases are made from an eco mix which consists of old newspapers, chalkpowder & glue in different percentages.The process of how the base material is made:1. Old newspapers are first soaked in water2. The wet newspapers go through a machine and smashed into pulp3. The pulp is mixed with crushed powdered chalk or lime-stone4. Natural tree resin functions as the adhesive.5. Resin crystals are melted in warm water and the liquid substance is added in the mix6. Pulp, chalk & resin are mixed and pushed through an avegar7. We then have the right substance and consistency, our base material.From base material to final design:1. Blocks of clay are pounded with a wooden mallet into sheets2. The clay sheet is laid into a mould and pressed into the sides3. Two half moulds are closed together, wrapped with a plastic band4. From the inside extra clay is pushed into the connecting joints5.

The model is now further left to dry for another 3-5 days in the open air 8. Finally it is sprayed with a sealer so no colour comes off when handlingThe full process consists of only 2 important items: the use of natural materials & skilled labour, exactly the 2 things Raw Materials loves the most!

  Introducing the Farmwood Console Large Double Top - a stunning addition to your interior. Crafted with sturdy rectangular frames, it can be sure to enhance the unique style of your living space. Invest in quality and add a unique double top console to liven up your home. Size: W140 x D30 x H80cm cm Material: Recycled wood - The wood is salvaged & reclaimed and comes from beams out of decades old houses.  From a pile of salvaged wood it is then selected by hand through craftsmen.  With an experienced eye they choose the wood with the right thickness, look and colour. This is a lengthy process which makes it more precious.  Each finished product has a rustic natural feel. All imperfections such as knots, cracks and cuts are still visible.  Nothing is done to it, other then just the sanding and brushing of the wood!  This product is sure to last for years to come if given proper maintenance. If left as is, it will acquire a natural patina. Otherwise you can use any type of wax, teak oil or laquer. First do this underneath on a non-visible spot because the wood will get darker from this. ​​​​
