The material & craft

Coconut shells that would otherwise be thrown away are shaped and sanded smooth by hand, from raw shell to polished bowl, in small Vietnamese workshops — part of the same way of working behind everything in the collection. See the full Rooted in Nature Collection →

Why we selected it

We don't design a product first and look for someone to make it — we find people who already know a material well, and build the collection around what they already do best. This bowl turns coconut shells that would otherwise be discarded into something useful and long-lasting, which fits the way we think about materials in general.

How it can be used

Use the bowl for rice, snacks, or as a small serving dish, with the matching spoon alongside it. Beyond the table, it also works well as a small planter for succulents, a tray for jewelry or crystals, or a catch-all for keys and other everyday odds and ends.
