The Taes Bowl is a contemporary interpretation of the graphic and functional elements of these sloping-sided platforms. The object is sculpted by artisans in the vicinity of Amsterdam out of dense limestone with fossilized inclusions, sourced from the Jura region in Germany. The bowl is usable in 2 ways, either with the larger surface facing the bottom or with the smaller surface facing the bottom. Protection pads are provided.
The Taes collection draws inspiration from the majestic sloping-sided architectural platforms, historically used for religious, ceremonial and defensive purposes. In stacked form, the platforms raise monuments such as pyramids and temples. Single platforms were used as foundations of buildings and defensive structures.
The objects are crafted by artisans in the vicinity of Amsterdam, in close collaboration with Aad Bos. The collection combines woodcraft, metalwork and stonemasonry, using the highest quality sustainably sourced natural materials.
All products of the Taes collection made-to-order and customizable with a production time 7-8 weeks. The products are numbered and come with a signed certificate of authenticity.
