Fruit Bowls - Gessato Design Store https://shop.gessato.com/home-living/tabletop/dining/bowls/fruit-bowl/ Contemporary Design Shop, Modern Furniture & Home Accessories Thu, 17 Sep 2026 23:56:40 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.7 Circle Stainless Steel Bowl https://shop.gessato.com/circle-stainless-steel-bowl/ https://shop.gessato.com/circle-stainless-steel-bowl/#respond Thu, 17 Sep 2026 23:56:39 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=179469 The Circle Bowl gives a round form an unexpectedly oval outline. Its rim rises and dips around the opening, while mirror-polished steel reflects the fruit inside and the colors of the surrounding room. Danish architect and furniture designer Finn Juhl drew the bowl in 1954, giving its thin metal sides the sweeping curves found throughout his work.

Produced by Danish design brand Architectmade, this polished stainless steel fruit bowl comes in two diameters. The smaller version measures just under eight inches across, leaving room for other objects on a kitchen counter or side table. The larger bowl spans almost twelve inches, providing a broader display for fruit on a dining table or island. Both work equally well empty, where the curved interior and reflections remain visible.

Choose Small or Large; each bowl is sold individually. Pair the two sizes for a display at different scales, or give one as a housewarming gift.

Cabbage Fruit Bowl https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-fruit-bowl/ https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-fruit-bowl/#respond Thu, 27 Aug 2026 18:14:23 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178711 The Cabbage Fruit Bowl takes the shape of overlapping cabbage leaves, with a broad, shallow profile that shows off the veins, folds, and irregular edges of the original vegetable. Layers of green glaze settle into the molded surface, bringing out the depth of the earthenware relief.

At 14.6 inches across, it offers considerably more room than a conventional tabletop bowl. Fill it with apples, pears, citrus, or tomatoes, use it for bread and pastries at brunch, or bring it to the table for a large arrangement of vegetables and shared dishes. Its 2.4-inch height keeps the contents visible rather than buried inside a deep bowl.

Made in Portugal from earthenware, the Cabbage Fruit Bowl is large enough to remain useful as a centerpiece even when empty. It also pairs easily with the plates, bowls, and serving pieces from Bordallo Pinheiro’s larger Cabbage collection. Dishwasher safe and suitable for microwave reheating. Avoid conventional oven use and sudden temperature changes.

Bananas Centerpiece https://shop.gessato.com/bananas-centerpiece/ https://shop.gessato.com/bananas-centerpiece/#respond Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:17:15 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178208 Designed by Madeira-born Nini Andrade Silva, the Banana from Madeira Centerpiece turns a bunch of bananas into a large, functional serving bowl. Individual banana forms stand upright around the perimeter, creating the wall of the vessel and leaving an open central area for fruit, bread, wrapped sweets, or other table arrangements.

The bananas are modeled in relief and painted in shades of yellow with green details around the stems. Because the fruit forms continue around the entire 15-inch diameter, the centerpiece has a strong profile from every side. Viewed from above, the repeated bananas form a complete circular pattern around the central bowl.

The piece belongs to a collection developed by Bordallo Pinheiro with Andrade Silva as a tribute to Madeira’s banana tree. Other pieces in the collection draw from its large leaves, slender stems, fruit, and dark textured bark.

Made in Portugal from hand-painted earthenware, the centerpiece weighs almost eight pounds. It is substantial enough for a dining table, kitchen island, buffet, or large console and remains visually complete when displayed empty.

Bordallo Pinheiro classifies this piece as tableware rather than decoration only. It is microwave safe for heating and dishwasher safe. It should never be placed in the microwave empty, and oven use is not recommended. Avoid sudden temperature changes, which can damage earthenware.

Carte Blanche Folded Porcelain Breakfast Bowl, Set of 2 https://shop.gessato.com/carte-blanche-breakfast-bowl-set-of-2/ https://shop.gessato.com/carte-blanche-breakfast-bowl-set-of-2/#respond Wed, 17 Jun 2026 22:55:44 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=174494 The Carte Blanche Breakfast Bowl by Serax is a white porcelain bowl with an intentionally folded, irregular form. Designed by Dutch designer Annebet Philips, it belongs to a tableware collection that began as cardboard prototypes, then carried those cut edges, folds, and quick black outline marks into porcelain.

The bowl has the useful scale of a cereal or breakfast bowl, but the shape makes it less ordinary on the table. The raised edges and hand-painted black lines give each piece a drawn quality, as though a paper mock-up has been frozen into ceramic. It works for cereal, yogurt, fruit, rice, dessert, snacks, or small composed dishes.

The black detailing is hand-painted, so small irregularities are part of the design rather than flaws. Use it with other Carte Blanche pieces for a full graphic table setting, or mix it into plain white dinnerware when you want one piece with more character.

The bowl is dishwasher safe, microwave safe, food safe, and oven safe up to 356°F or 180°C. It is not salamander proof. Serax lists the bowl per item with a minimum order quantity of 2; for Gessato, this listing is best presented as a set of two bowls.

Eva Bowl, Blue https://shop.gessato.com/eva-bowl-blue/ https://shop.gessato.com/eva-bowl-blue/#respond Wed, 13 May 2026 19:04:42 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=172673 The Bjørn Wiinblad Eva Bowl in Blue is a porcelain bowl with a painted face motif, soft blue detailing, and raised white accents along the side.

Measuring 5.7 inches in diameter, the bowl is sized for fruit, sweets, snacks, small objects, or simply as a decorative piece on a table, shelf, vanity, or entryway console. The rounded shape and illustrated details give it the cheerful, expressive character associated with Bjørn Wiinblad’s work.

Part of the Eva series, the bowl brings together practical use and decoration. It works well on its own, but it can also be paired with other Eva pieces for a more colorful table setting or display.

Made from porcelain, the bowl should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and is not dishwasher safe.

Tumbled Ice Cream Cup https://shop.gessato.com/tumbled-ice-cream-cup/ https://shop.gessato.com/tumbled-ice-cream-cup/#respond Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:09:58 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=165428 Stainless steel ice cream cup with a small pedestal base, shaped like a classic dessert bowl that decided to dress a little better. The surface has that lightly tumbled, tactile finish—matte, quiet, and good in the hand—while the slender foot gives it a subtle lift on the table without turning dessert into a ceremony.

It stacks neatly for storage, and it works beyond ice cream: sorbet, berries, yogurt, a few salted nuts when you’re “not hungry” but still wandering into the kitchen. It’s one of those pieces that makes even a quick weeknight treat look intentional—mostly because the silhouette is doing the work.

Rhombe Bowl, White https://shop.gessato.com/rhombe-bowl-white/ https://shop.gessato.com/rhombe-bowl-white/#respond Fri, 22 Aug 2025 00:05:14 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=154798 All-white porcelain, quietly patterned. The rhombus relief is pressed into the surface (not printed), so you feel a fine texture when you lift it and see a soft play of light around the rim. Inside, the curve is smooth and open—good for serving, good for spooning the last bit out without chasing it into a corner. The straight sides stack cleanly and don’t eat shelf space. It’s the kind of bowl that disappears just enough to let the food do the talking.

Pick the scale that fits the moment: 4.3″ works for olives, nuts, or a pinch bowl; 5.1″ takes berries or yogurt; 6.9″ is right for sides and tossed greens; 8.7″ handles shared salads, pasta, or fruit on the counter. White reads calm on its own and pairs easily with Rhombe Color—the shared geometry keeps a mixed table looking intentional.

Glazed porcelain. Dishwasher and microwave safe. Designed by Lyngby Porcelæn from an archive motif reinterpreted in tactile relief.

Rhombe Color Bowl, Diam 4.3″ https://shop.gessato.com/rhombe-color-bowl-diam-4-3/ https://shop.gessato.com/rhombe-color-bowl-diam-4-3/#respond Tue, 19 Aug 2025 10:06:31 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=154459 Rhombe Color gives Lyngby’s archive pattern a fresh, saturated glaze. Designed with the Copenhagen duo Stilleben, this small bowl carries the crisp rhombus relief across a glossy color field, so the texture reads even at a glance. It’s the right size for olives, dips, berries, or a single scoop of ice cream—and it stacks neatly with the rest of the series.

Mix it with white Rhombe pieces or build a table from color alone; the palette is made to be combined without fuss. The pattern comes from Lyngby’s 1960s design archive, reworked into a contemporary relief that’s tactile and durable for daily use. Available in Green, Rose, Turquoise, and Yellow.
