ABOUT PRODUCTID 36143
This centerpiece bowl, designed by Friedrich Marby and rooted in the Bauhaus tradition of the 1920s, exemplifies the modernist approach to utilitarian form. Crafted entirely from copper in a warm, reddish metallic hue, it features a distinctly geometric silhouette: a deep, hemispherical bowl resting on a conical base, enhanced with a ring of evenly spaced, raised spherical studs. The entire surface displays a hand-hammered texture, enabling light to play dynamically across the metal and emphasizing the artisanal skill behind its making. The proportions are harmonious—the wide bowl is anchored securely atop the gently flared base. Condition: excellent, professionally restored, with no visible signs of wear or discoloration.This object carries the spirit of an era when functional clarity met material logic and mathematics shaped everyday objects. Marby, associated with the Bauhaus tradition, designed with a focus on equilibrium and the essence of material. The bowl seems to tell a story of a time when the artisan's touch and the designer’s vision fused to redefine utility—every hammered indentation records both human effort and modernist history, while restraint in detail is an intentional virtue.It may be placed as a sculptural centerpiece on a living room table, especially effective amid neutral backgrounds or in the company of other modernist accents such as geometric textiles or minimalist vases. It would also serve as a decorative highlight on a sideboard or console, paired with books on twentieth-century architecture or objects from the mid-century period. Interiors inspired by Bauhaus, minimalism, or contemporary aesthetics would gain a detail of historical significance and enduring expressive power from this piece.Designer: Friedrich Marby (1905–1984). Material: copper, hammered finish. Style: Bauhaus, modernism. Dimensions: height 15 cm, diameter 22
