“Moon Bowls” by Belgian designer Ilona Van Den Bergh are simple and minimal designs created by the slight alteration of a perfect half-sphere. Her single indentation on each bowl forms spouts, recesses and lines that play with light as it falls across the muted color of each piece.
The designer states:
“Circle, a perfectly closed, round line. One of the strongest shapes, archetypes known and used throughout the history of mankind. Powerful in its simplicity, as the sun and the moon.
“It was a challenge for me to work with this perfect shape. I altered the line and broke the surface. I created for each object a new curve, a new route, a new life. A poetic deflection. As life is : we all want to have it perfectly, but we all get our own dents and craters. We all make our own (trajectory). And it is the art to make of this imperfection something beautiful again. The art of life.”
