Spherical Scrap Vases

Beautiful Planets by Beatrix Li-Chin Loos are Eco-Friendly Flower Holders

— January 15, 2011 — Eco
Designer Beatrix Li-Chin has created the 'Beautiful Planets' vase series. These spherical vases are eco-friendly and are made out of scraps of wood, glass, cardboard and metal. The one-of-a-kind designs are a result of simply using whatever material was accessible at the time.

Every single one of the vases in the Beautiful Planets collection was handmade. The combinations of rugged and refined materials have created unique compositions.

Implications - Beatrix Li-Chin likes to use the motto, "mother earth – la terre est notre mère" because it is a reminder to all that people have a duty to take care of the planet. The motto is also a great source of inspiration to the wonderful artist.
