Crushed Bowls by Julien de Smedt

Architect Julien de Smedt has designed two bone china bowls for Danish brand Muuto.

Crushed Bowls are composed of equilateral triangles and are designed using the same computer modelling processes de Smedt uses to generate large-scale architectural projects.

The bowls come in large (above) and small (below) versions.

Here’s some info from Muuto:

The bowls are composed of equilateral triangles and principles we use for big-scale computer modeling. Adding human ergonomics and aesthetics to the equation we have derived a series of vessels that are carefully crushed for everyday use.
