BOWLS
A bowl can be that little detail that makes a table, rack or entire interior feel complete. Here you will find bowls in wood, marble and clay with patina, texture and plenty of character. Some are handmade, others have had a previous life, and many still bear the marks to prove it. The range goes from small decorative bowls to large rustic traditional bowls and old wooden bowls that make no attempt to look as if they have just rolled off a production line. They are made for decoration, storage and atmospheric interiors in cafés, restaurants, shops, hotels and homes where things are allowed to be a little less perfect and a lot more interesting.
What should you consider when choosing bowls?
The short answer? It depends on where the bowl will be placed and what you want it to bring to the room.
A wooden bowl adds warmth, patina and a rustic feel. Many of our wooden bowls are old and bear traces of a previous life, which is a big part of their charm.
Marble bowls have more weight and a calmer, more substantial presence. Marble is a natural material, so veining, colours and textures vary from bowl to bowl.
Clay bowls bring a more earthy, handmade feel, where small irregularities and variations are not flaws but part of the story.
Consider, for example:
- Will the bowl be used as a decorative bowl or for storage?
- Will it sit on a table, on a rack or perhaps directly on the floor?
- Do you prefer the warm tones of wood or the cooler shades of marble?
- Should the bowl be a focal point or play a quieter role in the interior?
Decorative bowls for cafés, restaurants, shops and homes
A decorative bowl is one of the easiest home accessories to move around when a room needs a bit of new life.
A large bowl can bring a dining table together, add atmosphere to a reception area or give a console table a little edge. Smaller decorative bowls work well on racks, shelves or as part of a shop-window display.
Some stand empty and do the job perfectly well on their own. Others are filled with pillar candles, dried branches or seasonal decorations. There is no right or wrong way to use them.
Many of the bowls have so much character that they really just need somewhere to sit and mind their own business.
Bowls for storing all those little everyday things
There are two kinds of people. Those who know where their keys are. And those who start looking for them five minutes before they need to leave.
A bowl cannot solve all of life's problems, but it can gather up some of those little things that otherwise have a habit of wandering around.
In the hallway, bowls are often used for keys and other small items. In shops, they can hold business cards or smaller products. In hotels, cafés and restaurants, they can become part of the interior while adding both atmosphere and a practical function.
It is precisely this combination that makes bowls such versatile home accessories.
Why choose wooden bowls and marble bowls?
Wood and marble are very different materials, but they have one thing in common. They rarely become boring to look at.
A wooden bowl adds warmth, texture and an expression that only gets better with a few scratches and signs of use. Many of the bowls still carry marks from their previous lives, and that is exactly what makes them interesting.
Marble bowls work differently. Here, it is the weight, natural veining and variations in colour that create the character. No two pieces of marble are identical, which means no two marble bowls are exactly alike either.
What both materials have in common is their ability to add something to a room, even when there is absolutely nothing in the bowl.
Would you like to see the bowls in real life?
Many of our wooden bowls, traditional bowls and decorative bowls are old finds with patina and natural variations. This means that colour, shape and appearance can vary from one bowl to another.
If you are looking for several bowls for a café, restaurant or shop project and would like to see the variations for yourself, you are always welcome to visit our showroom in Skanderborg. Here you can explore the selection up close and find the bowls that suit your project best.
