Teak Root Decorative Bowl 40cm

Made from teak wood in Indonesia, each piece carries its own pattern, edge and sense of movement. Teak is valued for its dense feel and natural oils, which help give the wood its lasting, tactile quality.

• The root form gives it an organic outline, so it sits more like a found object than a standard turned bowl.
• The wood brings warmth into clean interiors, softening stone, glass and metal surfaces.
• Its irregular grain makes it easy to style alone, without needing much around it.
• Use it as a display bowl for fruit, wrapped treats, dried botanicals or small everyday objects.
• Each bowl differs slightly, so the one you receive will have its own natural markings.

Place it on a dining table as a grounded centrepiece, or let it hold keys and keepsakes on a hallway console. It also works beautifully on open shelving, where the wood grain can break up rows of books, ceramics and glass.

Wipe with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth, then let the wood dry fully. Avoid soaking, dishwashers and prolonged damp. For food display, keep to dry items or use a liner for anything moist, oily or strongly coloured.

Indonesia has a long tradition of working with richly grained tropical woods for home objects, from practical vessels to sculptural decorative pieces. Root wood is especially expressive because it does not grow in straight, even lines. The grain twists, shifts and opens in unexpected places, giving each bowl a more natural, less symmetrical presence. That variation is the point: it is a functional display piece, but also a small piece of wooden landscape for the home.

This teak root decorative bowl is 40 cm and weighs approximately 1300 g. Each piece is unique, so natural variation in shape, grain and finish should be expected.
