Welcome to Studio Geometric on Etsy. A UK based outlet for designer, Stephen Bretland's work with re-purposed Tetra Paks. All vases are made by the designer in his Welsh studio. They are carefully made in limited quantities from reclaimed pine or beech. The painted eggshell finish is just on one side, the rest of the wood is specially finished with plant oil. You'll need an inside-out 'Tetra Pak' to use as a waterproof liner. Either make your own, or purchase one separately, here at Studio Geometric.

Orders over $75 may require a signature upon arrival. Superfast delivery can be arranged for an extra charge. The recipient is liable for any duties or import taxes that may be charged when arriving at international destinations outside the EU. Free gift wrapping - just ask. Outer packaging is very sturdy and usually recycled. You can re-use or recycle it too.
Additional policies and FAQs
Choose a fresh Tetra Pak each time you use the vase. Use a standard 'Tetra Brik' (not included). Full instructions are sent with each wooden vase, showing how to turn a silver-lined Tetra Pak inside out. Ready-turned Tetra Paks are also available here at Studio Geometric.
The manufacturer of Tetra Paks didn't intend them to be turned inside out. Best to position the finished vase on a low-value surface, 'just in case'.
Request a bespoke paint finish through Etsy 'Alchemy'.
