Iris Bonsai Cup
Bonsai stacking cups are inspired by the inseparable and intimate relationship between the bonsai tree and its pot: a bond as close as lovers, family, friends, or even the one between humans and our mother earth. Each Bonsai Cup includes a variety of different flora, ranging from traditional bonsai trees to flowering plants, eastern and western styles. Most uniquely, the cups' shapes are designed to stack perfectly in one another, bringing together a mishmash of plant and pot images that cheekily create a range of complete bonsai. One set includes 2 cups, 1 plant and 1 pot.
Artist Profile
Libo Li, currently living and working in Amsterdam, was born and raised in the mountains of mainland China, where she grew up in a small village climbing trees and playing in the local kimchi jar factory. After graduating with Master of Fine Arts and a major in ceramics, she was determined to set up a studio to create objects that are rich in tradition and history, while still functional and fun-the kind of work that can make people smile and laugh.
