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.
