Alien Invader Fruit Bowls

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Flying Saucer Bowl Will Boggle Everyone's Minds

— January 6, 2010 — Art & Design
Spooky, scary and something you really don’t want to see in real life: that is the best way to describe alien spacecrafts. But the flying saucer bowl on the other hand just makes me wanna eat and apple and be a Jetson.

Made out of luscious acacia wood and stainless steel, this gnarly serving platter has stainless steel legs, so it can properly land on your kitchen table. Plus, if you do manage to get your hands on the flying saucer bowl, you have every right to talk in a silly alien voice.
Trend Themes
1. Space Themed Serveware - An opportunity for designers and manufacturers to cater to a growing interest in futuristic space-themed kitchenware.
2. Native Woodcraft Design - Utilizing native woods in servingware and kitchen utensils can create a unique experience for consumers looking for something different.
3. Whimsical Serveware - The market appears to be demanding more playful and quirky serveware like the flying saucer fruit bowl.
Industry Implications
