The Julietta vase is an exceptional piece, handcrafted from a block of black ebony flecked with white. Made in the Caruso Creations fine woodworking workshop in Luang Prabang, Laos, this handcrafted vase is distinguished by its soft, curved lines.

C This is a timeless vase, designed to enhance your bouquets, or simply to admire its clean lines that capture the light and invite the eye to linger. The vase bears the discreet Caruso signature on the back, a guarantee of authenticity.
Each piece is unique. The natural grain of the "white fox" ebony creates mottled patterns, the front and back of the vase revealing two different faces, as if the wood were telling two stories. The item you will receive is exactly the one you see in the photo.

Wood carving is one of the oldest arts and a fundamental method of woodworking. It is a demanding and meticulous activity, beginning with the use of large cutting tools and ending with small blades. It always requires patience, precision, and passion.
For our master craftsmen, wood is an irreplaceable material that allows them to express their ideas and imagination like no other. Wood is also a living material, which makes the sculpted works so precious and requiring delicate care. The artisans must develop a true knowledge and a deep connection with wood in order to create exceptional works and decorative objects, and then pass on their precious skills to younger generations.
The first step involves removing excess material to create the rough outline of the final form. Wood carving must follow the unique grain of each wood species, influenced by its growth. More precise and detailed steps then follow. In our workshop, we create decorative sculptures, tableware, and elegant, one-of-a-kind home accessories.
Woodturning is a process that involves shaping wood using tools while it rotates on a spindle. Our turners use a wood lathe, which allows for various operations such as knurling, facing, turning, and drilling. With this technique, we create pieces such as bowls, vases, cups, and other rounded wooden objects.
Although our artisans are highly skilled, woodturning remains a slow art that demands total concentration of body and mind; each piece requires time. We carefully select the most suitable wood so that our turners can highlight its grain and character, creating objects that are both useful and beautiful.
The final sanding refines and smooths our wooden creations. This step requires experience and expertise to achieve the desired result.
