Description

Sculptural Decorative Vase with Ambient Candle Function

This is a dual-purpose decorative object. By day, it functions as a sculptural interior piece. At night, when a candle is placed inside, it becomes an atmospheric lantern, casting a subtle play of light and shadows.
The candle serves purely as an ambient accent — the object itself is conceived first and foremost as a sculptural design piece, not a lighting fixture.
Each piece is handcrafted from recycled paper pulp combined with binders, pigments, and mineral components. After drying and finishing, the material acquires properties similar to wood — strength, natural texture, and depth of color.
Using paper in this way gives the material a new life once again — a third life, transformed into a durable and expressive interior object.

This material does not change color over time and is not afraid of moisture, dust can be wiped with a damp cloth.

All products are handmade and unique, so they may differ slightly from the image in the photo.
Made-to-order creations can be done, please contact me for any request.

About Donatas Žukauskas Visit Showroom →

"Imperfection as a way to create beauty". Cracks, splits, random spots and unpredictable results in a sculptural plastic form, such imperfection fascinates me, I strive for it in almost all my works. I am an interior designer and creator of interior details from Lithuania. I have been creating sculptural interior objects for more than 15 years, combining sculpture, design and artistry. I create side and coffee tables, lamps, vases, sculptures and candle lanterns. I use a concrete-like material, which is the result of various experiments. It is a mixture of several components: the largest part is paper pulp. Although paper is often associated with fragility, when mixed with other materials and dried it becomes as strong as wood, it resembles concrete but is slightly elastic, so it does not split or crumble. It took a lot of testing to find the right ratio of materials to create a rough or smooth surface, water resistance, rigidity, and elasticity. By using paper in my works, I give it the properties of wood again: natural texture, strength. It's like giving a tree a new life. This is the third tree life.
