Description

Muuto's sculptural Mere bowl charms all its viewers. Designed by Studio Kaksikko, the bowl embraces a monochrome palette that draws attention to its ingeniously delightful shape: it's almost like the Mere seems to float on the table.

The Mere bowl is made of ceramic and finished with a high-gloss glaze. The glossy surface highlights the bowl's unusual form and the shadows that play across it, but the also serves a practical purpose: it makes the bowl suitable for food and easy to clean. Mere is therefore perfect as a fruit bowl or serving dish for table settings but also as a storage container for your favourite decorative objects.

Kaksikko

Wesley Walters and Salla Luhtasela, also known as Kaksikko, specialize in designing minimalist wooden and ceramic products. They share not only a similar taste in design but also an eventful path to the design field. They met while studying design at the Aalto University Helsinki, and their work has been influenced by both Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics.

Before Aalto University, Walters, originally from California, studied East Asian languages at the University of Berkeley. There he grew an interest in design and architecture due to an exchange program in Japan and a summer job at the art department of a movie production. He started his design studies at the Tama University in Tokyo, got his first master's degree in 2012 and moved to Helsinki to continue his education. Finnish Salla Luhtasela, in turn, worked as a pastry chef and studied architectural restoration before she discovered ceramics and applied to Aalto University in 2013.

Kaksikko's ceramic Piippu coffee pot and filter won the third prize in the Muuto Talent Award 2015. They in turn won the first FDS Awards design competition in 2016 – the successful Perch stool is now part of Nikari's range of high-quality wooden furniture. For Danish brand Muuto, the duo have designed a distinctive Ridge vase and a striking Mere bowl.
