This vase is hewn from a solid block of Fireland Cherry Wood using the ancient technique of woodturning. All of our turned pieces are made by the Father/Son duo of Matias and Francisco Castro. Matias runs a wood-turning school in the Lanus neighborhood of Buenos Aires, and Fran, according to Mati, is his best student!
The Beaker Vase is inspired by well…a beaker, and is a testament to our desire to create, innovate, and experiment. It looks darn good with a few flowers in it too.
Fireland Cherry (called Lenga in Argentina) is native to the Southern Andes range in Argentina and Chile and is a semi-durable wood with beautiful rippling and color.
The vases are treated with natural beeswax and are not designed to hold water. Instead, these vases are made for dried bouquets or can serve as standalone sculptures.
