The Lago Fruit Bowl designed by Moises Hernandez is the most versatile and flexible fruit bowl to exist on the market. Inspired by the rippling effect that moving objects have over top of lake water, the top fabric layer of the fruit bowl is designed to change shape whenever fruit is placed on top of it. The shape the bowl will take depends entirely on the kind and amount of fruit placed into the bowl. Without any fruit in the bowl, the Lago Fruit Bowl "will appear on calm and static just as the water on a lake does," according to the NotCot website.
Built from maple, oak plywood and polyester-elastic fabric, the Lago Fruit Bowl is available in three colors, including lime green, vibrant pink and black.
