Unique textures & tonalities
The Locus Bowl is a modern design inspired
by traditional stone carving techniques. A
decorative bowl, elegantly proportioned and
exceptionally crafted with grooves around
the outer edge as a graphic expression of
the stone carving process. With the choice
of travertine, Locus embodies designer Sofie
Østerby’s intuitive approach to balancing
material presence and shape. Travertine is
a material native to Italy, used in classical
architecture for centuries.
Interestingly, travertine used to have a
counterpart in Denmark. The natural limestone
that was mined in the Faxe area south of
Copenhagen is similar in appearance and
composition to travertine, which makes it
familiar in a Nordic design context, as well.
Locus is crafted in raw Italian travertine, where
the natural, irregular surface is kept intact
to highlight the innate beauty of the material
properties, boasting unique textures and
tonalities that will vary from piece to piece.
Making each Locus Bowl a collectible.
