Normann Copenhagen’s Chub bowl is Finnish designer Sami Kallio’s tribute to traditional woodcraft. The bowl is made from certified ash wood, and its sturdy square shape references the solid and durable forms of the wooden decorative objects from the designer’s childhood. When designing the Chub bowl, Kallio aimed to create an object that lies between a decorative item and an everyday object. “Sculptural enough to be its own centerpiece, but simple enough to let any contents shine,” the designer himself describes.
