CONTOUR: Marbled Bowl

from £175.00

The CONTOUR series is a body of work that showcases designs that physically reflect the processes that were involved in the making of them.

‘Marbled Bowl’ is a showcase of the unique marbled recycled plastic produced by Weez & Merl, framed by an expanded cork rim. The plastic base is made from 100% post-consumer waste, melted and worked into a marbled texture by hand kneading in their workshop in Hove.

No two bowls are the same, using one-off pieces produced by Weez&Merl each week, each blank is cut down to a completely unique shape, informed by the natural geometry and marbling of the plastic. A single piece of expanded cork, in itself a biodegradable and carbon negative waste product, is cut to the same size to frame and finish each piece.

Each bowl is unique in shape and pattern - broadly fitting into two types:

  • Type 01 (typically 450 x 380mm x 35mm)

  • Type 02 (350 x 260mm x 35mm)

Please get in touch to see the currently available patterns.

Materials:

  • Recycled post-consumer plastic (by Weez&Merl)

  • Expanded Cork

    Plastic made in Hove, Cork and plastic machined and assembled here in Brighton, UK.

  • The cork is naturally water and rot proof, although care should be taken not to prolong exposure to water to avoid swelling. The marbled plastic is completely waterproof.
