ABOUT PRODUCTID 30443
This glass bowl designed by Timo Sarpaneva in Finland during the 1970s is a distinguished example of modernist Scandinavian design. Crafted from thick, smooth glass in a deep olive green hue, the bowl’s form is distinctly geometric and symmetrical. The body is composed of two rounded sections separated by a narrow waist, creating a dynamic, hourglass-like silhouette. Its wide, flat rim dramatically flares outward, evoking the shape of a disc. The surface of the glass is uniform and highly reflective, free of additional decoration or texture, and the entire piece is rendered in a single color. There are no visible joints or assembly marks, suggesting it was made as a single piece. The bowl is preserved in very good condition—its surface is clean, with no chips or cracks, and only minimal traces of use.The form of this bowl carries the characteristic voice of 1970s Finnish design: purity of line, boldness of proportion, and a discreet strength of color. Its geometric volume reflects Sarpaneva’s sculptural approach—an object that communicates through restraint and balance. The glossy, luminous plane of the glass catches the light with a cool detachment but also invites contemplation of material—almost as if the bowl itself aims to tell the story of an era where function and form were inseparable.This piece could be placed on a low coffee table or sideboard in a living room, where its shape and color would become a focal point of the arrangement. It would pair well with minimalist light wood furniture or white surfaces, emphasizing its modernist heritage. Combining it with other glass elements—such as a transparent vase or a Scandinavian-style lamp—would create a cohesive, collector’s composition in the spirit of mid-century modern.Height: 12 cm.
