Details

Introducing the Noir Bowl, a rare collection of one-of-a-kind sculptural vessels by Sterling Collins. Collins crafted each bowl with beautiful functionality in mind, creating forms that offer a distinct appreciation for the material. Made of solid cherry and ebonized to highlight their curated forms, the visible weight of these vessels offers a stark contrast to the physical lightness of their paper-thin walls. One commonality in the collection is Collins' intentional alteration of the forms to highlight the woodgrain—rather than blindly making the material bend to his will, he closely examines each wood blank to ensure its best qualities are brought forward.
