The Kiki bowl by Jean-Marie Massaud combines smooth and textured finishes on its interior and exterior surfaces, highlighting the natural grain of walnut in two distinct ways. Its flat, sloping sides replace conventional curves, creating a disc-shaped form with a subtle ridge impression at the base for a distinctive visual contrast. The hand-carved construction reflects traditional Bosnian woodworking techniques, with the interplay between polished and carved surfaces drawing attention to the material's natural character. Crafted from solid walnut, the bowl carries a warm, rich tone that deepens the tactile quality of the piece.
Bosnian design company Zanat reveals its dedication to heritage and artistry by way of a collection of wooden carved objects. This bowl by Jean-Marie Massaud juxtaposes smooth and textured finishes on the in- and outside of the design, celebrating the grain in two ways. The unique use of flat, sloping sides in place of curves — with a ridge or impression in the base of the bowl — creates a distinctive interplay in this disc shaped design. Suitable for minimalist dishes and table-set ups, the 'Kika' bowl in walnut is an elegant work of art that celebrates the material, the craft, and the enduring value of objects.
