Using innovative technology, this vase is created with 100% recycled wood and non-timber forest debris. In collaboration with Altum, an organization focused on using sustainable technology, we have designed a collection of geometric vases.

This light-weight vase is not only bold with its unique design but also bold in size. Whether it’s a statement center piece for the dining room table or a subtle accent piece on your book case, this piece will sure start a conversation. The front and back are solid gray while the sides are accented with color to match your curated room.

Altum is a true pioneer in sustainability, using only scrap materials, each product is created through sophisticated technology invented by their very own team. With 30 years of experience, they have created countless jobs for artisans in their city and have even created their own community built specifically for their artisans. With this community, artisans have a place to live (for free), schools were built for their children, and scholarships are given every year to students in need. All of these things were created with the focus to increase their livelihoods and quality of life.

Sustainable Production

Majority of the production are made by hand with very minimal use of ground water. Products are dried using natural air + heat from the sun.

Solid Waste Management

A waste monitoring segregation system is in place with a materials recovery program which is also implemented to maximize resource-use. 

Each item sold by Department of Artisans employs an equal profit-sharing model.

Simply put, we make as much as our artisans do. The average split for each product is 40% artisan contribution, 40% DOA contribution, 20% importing + shipping fees. This means, our profits are the same as our artisans and we don't mark-up our prices like traditional retailers.

The 40% artisan contribution goes towards the cost of materials, the maker, and the project manager. The 40% DOA contribution goes towards marketing + operating expenses, and community initiatives. The 20% importing + shipping fees is paid out to each country during the exporting/importing process.

All shipments are securely packaged for safe and prompt delivery. We are happy to offer shipping worldwide. Please allow 1-2 business days for order processing.
