Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The CHOCO Vase is a decorative item designed for both commercial and residential indoor use. It is crafted from 100% natural fique agave and mouth-blown glass, available in various color combinations including light blue/orange/beige/black and yellow/white/beige. Originating from Colombia, the vase can be customized upon request.

Design and Inspiration
Developed in collaboration with French designer Pauline Deltour, the vase features an asymmetrical color-blocking pattern. The design is inspired by traditional Colombian weaving techniques, learned firsthand by Deltour during a visit to the region.

Technical Specifications
The vase comes in two sizes: Small (Height: 250 mm, Diameter: 120 mm) and Large (Height: 300 mm, Diameter: 160 mm). The packaging dimensions are 455 × 455 × 250 mm, and the item weight is 1 kg.

Craft and Manufacturing
Manufactured in the Boyacá region of Colombia, the vase is made using traditional techniques with natural dyes from local ingredients. The craftsmanship involves wrapping thin fique fibers around sturdier bundles, creating a textured surface.

Care Instructions
To maintain the vase, it should be kept away from damp conditions and direct sunlight. Cleaning should be done with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding chemical products. The fibers are resistant to heat and fire.
