Land+Living: Splash Form Bowls

Accessories — February 1, 2006 Posted by Anthony

From recycled to molten to unique

At first glance, I was somewhat reminded of The Great Bowl of Fire but the shapes are much more organic. The Splash Form Bowls by Melt Modern are created with a technique that consists of throwing molten aluminum onto a sand mold one splash at a time until the bowl is complete. Needless to say, each bowl is unique.

Splash Form bowls come in three different sizes with prices starting at $195.

Good idea

I like it. It's a little bit too raw for my taste in some ways, but on the other hand, it's a great technical solution. It would be interesting to see other forms created this way by splashing over other shapes.

Designed by a guy

This looks cool, but isn't vaguely practical. If it was resin or even plastic, it would be better. You coudl papier mache over a balloon, paint it and get much the same effect.

Gorgeous Work

What amazing bowls! (Poor Rachel - I guess she lives in a tent, eats off paper plates, and sneaks out to construction sites to use the portapotty. Have fun with the papier mache!)
