Mere bowl – Muuto

"Mere Bowl was inspired by a small piece of porcelain that Salla made on the lathe in our studio - the contrast between its round conical shape and the line of its pinched bottom inspired us to continue experimenting. Creating paper prototypes, we created bowl-like surfaces by folding them, then continued to translate these shapes into more concrete objects with plastic." 

Made from ceramic stoneware covered in a glossy glaze, available in three colours, and raised by a discreet foot, its surface captures the light in a sensual way, with a subtle sense of tactility.  As in the origami tradition, the design essentially explores light and shadow. The central fold dictates a play of shadows. It's as simple as it is ingenious, as a line down the middle folds over the sides to form a bowl.
