Reversed volumes are bowls that are shaped by capturing the imprint of a fruit/vegetable.

The space between a vessel and a fruit/vegetable is filled with ceramics. After the original organic material is taken away, the bowl preserved the actual imprint. The surface of each fruit/vegetable is detailed represented and let's the user see it from a different view.

The use of ceramic powder, which becomes really hard without being fired, gives the possibility that each bowl is as unique as the actual used fruit /vegetable. Therefore each cast bowl is an unique piece.

'reversed volumes' was initially developed for FoodMarketo, a pop up shop organised by DesignMarketo, Apartamento Magazine and Marion Friedmann during Milan Design Week 2010.

So far the reversed volumes bowls are made with the imprints of: cauliflower, celeriac, cabbage, melon, red beet, fennel, green apple, yellow pepper and orange. A special edition of coffee and sugar bowls was made for foodmarketo's 'coffee & friends' exhibition.

notes: the bowls are not dishwasher safe nor meant for liquid food.
