Cara Bowl

Description

I am a linden wood bowl. I’m perfect for cereals, soups, stews, oatmeal, snacks, porridge and rice. Also, good for small fruits like cherries and grapes.

Curator’s Notes

Light, natural wooden bowls for everyday use. They are a great alternative to more commonly used ceramic bowls. Each piece is food safe and very durable.

“Cara” is a series of egg-shaped tablewares making the most of the warmth of wood as a material and Japanese thin-wood-curving techniques. The curvatures of the pieces are meant to mimic the egg so as to fit gently within your hands.
