J. Jules Vitali
Has spent 23 years developing and perfecting Styrogami, which now exists in a number of forms. Each one of these delicate creations is sculpted from a single cup. The whole cup is utilized, nothing is thrown away.
Every piece that has been sculpted has come from a "found" cup, meaning it was acquired from some source other than purchase.
