Things to Covet – July/August

Wandel by Kooij

Crafted by Kooij, where Dirk van der Kooij and his team transform waste materials into timeless pieces, the Wandel bowl is extruded from buttery recycled plastic. Its meandering lines melt together to form a shallow, open basin. Each bowl is a unique creation, with colour gradations that evolve according to the recycled plastic’s past life. The result is a bowl that ranges from smooth to variegated hues, making every piece distinct. The Wandel bowl is more than just a functional item; it’s also a playful tabletop sculpture and a generous fruit bowl. The bowl’s pattern and shape are defined by a single, gently warmed extruded line, showcasing the delicate union of machine precision and artisanal craft.
