Veneer, Bowl

The grain of wood, reimagined in steel.

Patricia Urquiola's Veneer bowl translates the visual rhythm of wood grain into a relief pattern pressed across 18/10 stainless steel, so the surface catches light in a wave rather than a flat sheen.

It comes in two sizes — a compact 21cm bowl and a larger 29cm version — with production having started in 2020, and works equally well holding fruit or standing alone as a sculptural object.

It's a piece that rewards a second look: the texture only reveals itself once the light moves across it.
