ABOUT PRODUCTID 6260
This set of four modular bowls, designed by François Chatain and produced in France in the 1980s, embodies a postmodern approach to functional ceramics. Each bowl is crafted from glazed ceramic, its surface adorned with a subtle network of crackle glaze. The color palette features warm pastel tones—soft peach and off-white—highlighting the glossy finish and smooth, rounded forms. Bold, geometric shapes recall playful, stackable rings, while harmonious proportions allow the bowls to nest together, creating a striking, tiered composition. The glassy surface reflects light, enhancing the gentle curves and clean lines. The set is in very good vintage condition, with only minimal signs of use typical for 1980s ceramics. These bowls tell the story of an era when design moved beyond pure function towards playful exploration of form and color. The 1980s marked a period where everyday objects were imbued with wit and a sense of self-awareness—here, each bowl asserts its presence, and the delicate crackle glaze alludes to both the passage of time and the creator’s artistic intent. Their modular arrangement—distinct yet unified—recalls the atmosphere of French ateliers, where ceramics were both utilitarian and decorative. Within an interior, the François Chatain set can be paired with contemporary glass, minimalist woods, or chrome details to emphasize its postmodern lineage. It works well as a centerpiece on a low coffee table, serving either as a practical set for fruit or snacks or as a sculptural
