Bronze Bowl

John Pawson has designed a bowl as a perfect seamless hemisphere, refraining from the use of flatness in the base in order to preserve the integrity of the profile's smooth curve. Filled with sand, the Bronze Bowl rests steadily on a surface, arousing curiosity in its audience with all inner-workings deliberately hidden from plain sight. Pawson has combined a traditional material, bronze, and a minimal shape - the combination of which makes for perfect use in contemporary spaces. Part of the Belgian atelier When Objects Work's inaugural collection by Pawson titled "5 Objects,"each of the pieces is a container based on a basic geometric shape and explores the interaction between material and form.
