Dual Bowl II / Large

This large Dual Bowl is cast and cut in Copper and Aluminum, a bright combination. In this process the solid metal is cut and key’ed, then the second molten metal is poured in. This method is controlled and based on the craftsman’s line, creating a sharp and locked transition. The difference in weight between the two metals creates an elegant tilt, which allows the bowl to display itself.

Dual Bowls are irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind castings made with an unexpected combination of two metals. They are fabricated with unique sand-casting methods developed with Alwafi Foundry in Kuwait.
