Dragon Junkyard Sculpture - Recycled Metal-Fair Trade

The Year of the Dragon occurs in the Chinese calendar every 12 years. People born during these years are set to possess the characteristics of honesty, sensitivity, and bravery. The next year of the dragon will be 2024.

This large junkyard dragon is a product of the imagination and ingenuity of a Vietnamese engineer-turned-artisan. Working from his small home-based workshop, he transforms salvaged metal scraps into wonderful junkyard critters, home decor, and office/desk accessories. Over the years, demand for his creations has continued to grow. The success that began in his small workshop has now expanded beyond the borders of Vietnam to support artisans in India as well. It is a wonderful success story and a truly global fair trade product. Besides making a great gift for dads, architects, collectors, and music lovers, each whimsical style proves that recycling is a beautiful thing.
