Deceptively Fibrous Dishware

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Coil Rope Bowl by Harry Allen is Made Out of Resin and Marble

— September 19, 2012 — Art & Design
Some may look at the Coil Rope Bowl and see something rustic, but those who take a good look at it will see something that is equally refined. It balances between the two for a piece of home decor that will appeal to many for different reasons. Yet at its core, the Coil Rope Bowl is simply a well-designed dishware that focuses as much on form as it does on function.

Designed by Harry Allen, the Coil Rope Bowl is deceptive in many ways. What at first appears to be a thick section of fibrous rope is actually a mixture of resin and marble. Available in two versions, white and silver, the bowl is great for many things including fruit.
Trend Themes
1. Deceptive Design - The use of unconventional materials and designs to create products that appear to be one thing but are actually another can disrupt traditional product categories.
2. Hybrid Materials - The combination of materials that are not typically used together creates an opportunity for unique designs and product applications.
3. Multi-functional Products - Designing products that serve multiple purposes can appeal to consumers looking for versatility and value in their purchases.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Deceptive design and the use of hybrid materials can be applied to home decor products to create unique and eye-catching pieces that appeal to consumers' desire for individuality and creativity.
2. Kitchenware - Multi-functional dishware designs, such as the Coil Rope Bowl, can disrupt traditional kitchenware categories and meet consumer demand for versatile and practical products.
3. Art and Sculpture - The use of unconventional materials and deceptive design can create disruptive innovation opportunities in the art and sculpture industry, pushing boundaries and challenging traditional notions of what art should be.
