Nambé Marupa 7-by-22-Inch Bowl
Product Description
Fill with potpourri to grace your foyer or fill with an assortment of fruits and use as a centerpiece. This generous sloop-shaped bowl appears to have been carved of the Amazon valley tree of the same name. Known for its inner strength, the Marupa lends its hardy core to this bright and shiny bowl.
Amazon.com Review
Designed by Donald Wright, the spectacular Marupa bowl, long and narrow, typifies the simple yet elegant design aesthetic of Nambé. With its nearly rectangular rim and curved underbelly, the 7-by-22-inch bowl makes an impressive statement as a work of modern art on a suitably sized credenza or sideboard. As a functional table centerpiece, the bowl displays seasonal fruits or serves a selection of freshly baked breads and rolls. The shiny metal will not tarnish, chip, or crack, and is safe for use in a refrigerator, freezer, or oven. It may not, however, be used in a microwave or dishwasher; washing by hand will preserve the finish.
Nambé was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico. From the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional metal items such as bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design. Still made in the USA, Nambé's signature metal alloy is liquefied, poured into a hand-made sand cast, and the resulting piece repeatedly polished and smoothed by hand. Exceptional gifts for the most special of occasions, Nambé metal bowls and accessories are now joined by porcelain and crystal pieces, each flawlessly crafted. Nambé ware has won numerous design awards, has been shown in or recognized by nearly two dozen museums worldwide, and is part of the permanent collections of many, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. --Ann Bieri
