I am Paper Vase No.5. As delicate as a flower, as steady as a tree.
Rina Ono creates another brilliant design made of paper. Place over a simple glass or plastic bottle to instantly transform it into a beautiful vase. This washi paper vase is made in the Gifu region of Japan known for its durable handmade washi paper made of mulberry bark. The beauty is in how the paper expands into forms that organically find their resting point in asymmetrical positions.
