spiral patterns

Handcrafted from coiled recycled paper in tones of pink and white, this catchall from India is designed by Yusra. Spiral patterns decorate the catchall's exterior, perfect for simple decor as well as for collecting valuables.

Resembling a city of temples with pyramid-like spirals, the patterns on the cover of this cutlery box are created by recycled paper that is carefully coiled by hand. Javanese artisan Riris Simanjuntak creates this eco-friendly way for storing your cutlery; inside, it is lined with woven water hyacinth fiber, featuring four small compartments and one large compartment.

Handcrafted in the shape of a volcano, this recycled paper and cement decorative vase features a design by Thai artisan Somyot Sawasdee. He works with a concern for ecological preservation, elaborating the vase with wavy patterns that climb up, painted with an oxidized green tone.

Imagine the most intricate Persian carpet ever woven, then imagine it shrunk, lacquered and hung from a golden-hued chain around your shoulder. That is the spirit behind this turquoise evening bag from India, where a dusty rose medallion floats at the center of a dense sea of hand-painted blue florals, all protected by a hard lacquer finish over a weeping willow wood and papier mache body designed by Mohammad Hussain Baba. Wear it crossbody on a long night out, sling the chain over your shoulder for dinner or tuck the brass-plated strap inside entirely and let the clutch do the talking on its own.
