Dirk van der Kooij, 2024 The Wandel bowl is a softly sloping, endearingly wobbly vessel. Extruded slowly from buttery recycled plastic, the bowl’s meandering lines melt together to form a shallow basin. Colour ebbs and evolves though the wide printed line. Suitable for use as a generous fruit bowl or playful tabletop sculpture, the Wandel explores the light-hearted, less rigidly functional possibilities of the Kooij workshop. |
Like hands cupped to hold water, the Wandel bowl is open and undulating. A single extruded line is gently warmed to give the bowl its shape. The patterning of the Wandel is a characteristic of our recycled plastic source material. Colour gradations will vary from smooth to variegated, depending on the past life of the plastic. |
