Mere Bowl
The Mere Bowl is a sculptural centerpiece, one that looks beautiful in a tablescape or space, whether it is in use or not. Its characteristic shape is simple yet ingenious, as a line down its middle folds out to the sides, forming a bowl. Elevated by a discrete foot, the Mere Bowl looks as if it is floating. Manufactured in tactile ceramic stoneware, it has been coated in a high-gloss glaze that enhances the shadows that form along the Mere Bowl’s fold. This surface treatment makes the bowl food safe. The production process makes each bowl unique, with small deviations in color, thickness and surface.
“Mere Bowl was inspired by a small porcelain piece that Salla made on the pottery wheel in our studio; the contrast between its conical round shape and the strict line of its bottom inspired us to continue experimenting with it. Initially prototyping with paper, we created bowl-like surfaces through folding, later moving from bendable materials to the rigidity of plaster. We wanted it to be as much a humble and utilitarian item as an elegant stand-alone sculptural form, casting beautiful shadows when empty.” - Studio Kaksikko
