Description
The Forleyet is a shallow decorative bowl in acacia wood, with an irregular oval outline that is broader at one end and a low rim that follows the whole edge. It is 40cm long, 21cm wide and just 1.5cm high, so it sits more like a generous tray than a deep bowl, and it weighs 0.75KG. The finish is natural wood, which lets the acacia show its warm brown tones, darker streaks and the odd knot. Because acacia is a natural material, every piece is unique, and yours will carry its own pattern of grain.
This is a piece for display rather than for serving. It is not for food use, so we see it on the quieter surfaces of the home. Set it on a coffee table, a sideboard or a hallway console to gather keys, jewellery, a few pebbles or a bundle of dried stems, or leave it empty and let the warm wood do the work. The long, low shape suits narrow spaces such as a mantelpiece or a deep windowsill, and its earthy colour sits comfortably beside linen, rattan, stone and black metal. It suits anyone who wants an organic, natural shape in a living room, hallway or bedroom without adding clutter.
Acacia is a dense hardwood with a strong, characterful grain, and the natural finish keeps that grain in full view. The bowl is not dishwasher-proof, so keep it well away from the dishwasher. As it is not for food use, keep it for objects rather than fruit, bread or snacks. At 0.75KG it is light enough to move from room to room whenever you change the arrangement. Choose its spot for the grain as much as the shape, because those knots and streaks are part of what makes each one unique.
