The Mere Bowl is a sculptural centrepiece, one that looks beautiful in a table-scape 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, it looks as if floating. Manufactured in tactile ceramic stoneware, it has been coated in a high-gloss glaze that enhances the shadows that form along Mere Bowl’s fold. This surface treatment makes the bowl food safe.
"Mere Bowl was inspired by a small porcelain piece that Salla made on the pottery wheel in the studio - the contrast between its conical round shape and the strict line of its bottom inspired the 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." - says Studio Kaksikko
Made in ceramic stoneware with a high gloss glaze inside and out. The production process makes each bowl unique with small deviations in colour, thickness and surface.

"We consider ourselves 'formgivers' before designers, and our process of working with our hands from an early stage has a large influence on the designs that we create. We also produce our own designs by hand in small series, so our familiarity with wood and ceramics lends both an attention to detail and a practicality to our designs that reflects our understanding of these materials. We share a desire to design and make things that people will use until they wear out."
