Mogu Takahashi, a Tokyo based artist/illustrator created a series of artworks for the airvase. Her cute illustrations are printed on airvase and it feels so special!

Each pack includes one sheet of Airvase (two different designs printed on each side) and a matching envelope with instruction card written in Japanese and English. Write a message on this amazing shapable paper container/bowl and send to someone special to make them happy!

Designed by TORAFU ARCHITECTS of Tokyo, Airvase is a paper bowl that can be stretched into a vase, plate or bowl that enfolds air. It comes as a flat sheet of paper with perforations so that you can pull up each side into the preferred shape.
