Block Black Set is a pair of vases in black by Donatas Žukauskas: rectangular, planar and mineral to the touch. Block pares the vessel down to pure architecture, upright, flat-faced and deliberately left unresolved. The two are sold together and read as a conversation, the same language in different proportions.
Each vessel is worked entirely by hand and built up in fine layers, and each takes its own path as it dries, with pressure, timing and the material’s own behavior all leaving a mark. The mix of recycled paper pulp, organic cement and mineral binder was settled after long trial and error, aiming for a skin that shrugs off water and knocks while still reading as genuine geological stone. Every example finishes a little differently from the last.
Nothing tries to hide the material’s nature. Cracks, shifting surfaces and unpredictable texture are not defects but the intent: imperfection as a way to create beauty. Each piece is handmade and one of a kind.
