Crafted in lac, a natural resin secreted on trees by insects without harming them, these planters embody sustainability. Lac hardens over time yet remains resilient; when used as a vase or planter, the natural moisture helps it maintain balance and humidity. Minimal care is needed — just gentle handling and an occasional wipe with a soft cloth.

If broken, lac returns to the earth, leaving no trace behind — making each piece not only beautiful but also fully biodegradable.
