The Coolr Fruit Bowl is Playful and Sophisticated

— March 28, 2013 — Art & Design
The Coolr Fruit Bowl will add a nice punch of color to kitchens and dining rooms alike. It is a fruit bowl predominantly made up of vibrant coloring pencils. A playful combination of high tech techniques and traditional art materials, the dishware is surprisingly smart and sophisticated. Instead of looking like a child's art project gone wrong, making it fit only for the playroom, the Coolr Fruit Bowl has a simple aesthetic that will complement contemporary homes nicely.

The base of the Coolr Fruit Bowl is made out of aircraft grade aluminium alloy, which has been bead blasted and given a natural anodise finish similar to the ever-popular Apple products. It exclusively uses Staedtler Norris colour pencils. The designers warn that they are sharp and suggest sticking grapes on the ends.
