‘wooden bowl 16’ by usuals

 

 

dutch duo van eijk and van der lubbe of usuals have created 39 wooden bowls from five reclaimed oak poles they found at a dutch farmhouse, abandoned to rot. each wooden bowl has had carefully considered volumes removed from the body of each log, the smooth cut-outs successfully contrasting the rustic ‘lived-in’ characteristics of the wood. each piece is completely unique and hand made, with cracks and flaws celebrated throughout each design.
