Description

A sculptural vase made from recycled cardboard and cement — a material that balances strength and lightness. The combination results in a tactile, organic surface that feels warmer than concrete, yet is equally durable.

Subtle irregularities, cracks, and texture variations are intentional and reflect the wabi-sabi philosophy of imperfection and authenticity. Each piece is handmade, with a focus on raw beauty, sustainable process, and architectural form. Ideal as an interior object with sculptural presence.

This object does not change over time and is not made of ceramics – clean with a dry cloth. Indoor use only.

Material: cardboard, recycled paper, concrete, glue

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.
