Dual Bowl III / Medium

This medium Dual Bowl is made of brass plated in nickel, a lustrous combination. In this process the brass bowl is half dipped in a liquid nickel coating, producing a seamless and gradual shift in colour. This process creates a faded and layered transition.

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.

• Brass and Nickel, Plating method
