An elegant example of paper engineering, the initial flat, circular shape of the Airvase reveals a flexible, fine lattice when stretched, gaining strength at the same time. It can be used as an attractive cover for glass jars or as a decorative item in its own right.

This item is made from thin paper. It is very fragile and should be kept away from moisture.
