Sumaira EcoMix Bowl
Sumaira EcoMix Bowl
- Sumaira is crafted with EcoMix, a material made from recycled paper.
- No two are alike: Because Sumaira is handmade, coloring will vary (which means yours is totally unique to your home).
- Food safe for dried items, so you’re free to use Sumaira as a bowl for dried fruit or snacks. Nuts and the like—we wouldn’t use this as a salad bowl, for instance.
- Handles are decorative and fragile—lift your vessel from the base to avoid damage.
Thoughtfully handmade in Jaipur—Sumaira is crafted from EcoMix, a recycled-paper material that creates an organic, earthy feel.
Behind the craft
The Making of Sumaira
the materials
Sumaira is made of EcoMix, a material derived from recycled paper. EcoMix blends traditional and contemporary craft—sustainable materials molded into traditional shapes perfected by artisans—that introduces a distinct earthiness to your space.
the process
Sumaira starts with recycled paper that’s shredded and mixed with water to create a pulp—the beginnings of EcoMix. The pulp is then combined with adhesive and chalk powder to create a paste that can be sculpted and molded into vessels.
molding and finishing
The prepared paste is stamped into a mold and allowed to dry. Once dry, the pieces are freed from the mold and sanded until smooth. Like traditional pottery, this is where glazes and paint are introduced and any finishing touches are made.
Uniquely Handmade
Each EcoMix piece is crafted and finished by hand, which means each is a one of a kind. Style yours with decorative objects, use it to hold your keys, or add dried florals for a touch of earthiness: EcoMix brings organic, handmade charm to your space—in any form.
