Description
The Forleyet is a handmade decorative bowl in aluminium, finished in nickel and shaped like an open shell. Curved ribs fan across the inside, each carrying a fine brushed texture that catches the light, while the rim stays smooth and bright. It measures 26cm long, 18.5cm wide and 6cm high, and it weighs 1.04KG, so it has a pleasing weight in the hand. The low, oval silhouette reads clearly from across a room, and the nickel finish suits both warm and cool colour schemes.
We see it most at home in the living room, set on a coffee table beside a few fresh stems or a stack of books, though it works just as well on a sideboard, a console table in the hallway or a dressing table in the bedroom. Leave it empty as a sculptural piece in its own right, or give it a job as a catch-all for keys, jewellery or dried flowers. It is a decorative piece rather than a serving dish, since it is not for food use, so keep it for display and away from fruit or snacks. The silver tone sits comfortably beside pale linens, marble, glass and dark metal, which makes it an easy gift for someone whose taste you know only roughly.
Because each bowl is made by hand, no two are quite alike: the spacing of the ribs and the depth of the brushed texture vary a little from piece to piece, and that variation is part of its character. Aluminium does not rust, which suits a piece that sits on open display. It is not dishwasher-proof, so keep it out of the dishwasher and treat it as an ornament rather than kitchenware. Give it a clear spot where it can be seen, and it will earn its place.
