Deceptively Fibrous Dishware

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

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.
