Manufacturing
Hand-made product, made exclusively from natural materials: cleaned, boiled and beaten with a wooden hammer. The result is a fibre paste which is then coloured. A sieve separates the paper mixture from the water. Layers of wet paper strips are then placed in a hemispherical mould. The strength of the sunlight determines the colours. Imperfections in the fibres become visible. Gift from the manufacturer.
