Gulu Plum Upcycled Bowl & Saucer Set
Because saving the planet should look exceptionally chic.
Most old calendars spend their retirement at the bottom of a landfill, but this pair had higher ambitions. Hand-coiled by resilient women artisans in Gulu, Northern Uganda, this incredible decorative bowl and matching saucer set is made entirely from tightly rolled, repurposed paper calendars.
The set features a bold, glossy deep plum purple base trim that frames a mesmerizing, layered kaleidoscope of color. Look closely and you'll see a vibrant, confetti-like stack of crimson reds, mustard yellows, crisp blacks, and stark whites peeking through the rings. Each piece is completely unique, turning discarded dates into geometric bands of color. Sealed with a protective lacquer, it's strong enough to catch your keys at the front door, hold your favorite crystal collection, or sit proudly on your coffee table as a masterclass in eco-conscious design. It’s literal proof that time flies—but good style stays.
Why You'll Love It
* A Masterclass in Upcycling: Zero fresh trees were harmed in the making of this set. It is 100% post-consumer paper given a glorious second life.
* The Deep Plum Pop: The solid, glossy purple bands anchoring the top of the bowl and the rim of the saucer give the set a sophisticated, high-end design edge.
* Empowerment in Every Coil: Each purchase directly generates sustainable income for women artisans in Gulu, rebuilding livelihoods through creative entrepreneurship.
* Lightweight Yet Resilient: Don't let the paper fool you; the precise coiling technique paired with a water-resistant sealant creates a surprisingly sturdy, durable structure.
