Designed by the student Regina Kaun from Univesidad de Monterrey in Mexico, the Ixhua is a conceptual vase that aims to support working women and the environment alike.
The Ixhua is a handmade ceramic vase that is made by women in need of work, and it has a functional design that appears both natural and contemporary. It comes with a "Canadian moss pellet," which contains various types of seeds that can be used to grow plants in the ceramic vase.
The vase does not have a glaze due to the designers' desire to avoid using chemicals in the production process, and it can be used for a variety of purposes that are both decor-friendly and functional.
