Working closely with the company 3form, we have been inspired by the initiative they have taken to establish close relationships and collaborations with communities in remote places. These collaborations have lead to the development of the Full Circle product range.
Each Full Circle product has an individual and beautiful story behind them.

This product encapsulates paper made from the local and highly renewable lokta shrubs native to the Nepalese communities of Kathmandu and Solukhumbu. Using the traditional method of production, 3form has found a unique commercial use for the handcrafted paper that was heavily suppressed during the country's Maoist conflict."Friendships have grown by working side-by-side with artisans to solve design challenges - impacting both their community and us."
