Måne – A wooden bowl in solid Ash designed by Torbjørn Anderssen & Espen Voll – Nedre Foss

Photo: Inger Marie Grini.

We make Måne in Natural Ash. Trees are living creatures. Smaller knots and variations in grain and colour will occur. 900g of solid ash wood finished with a food-safe wax oil made from natural organic ingredients.

 

 

Inspiration behind Måne
This is our version of the tripod vessel found as numerous variations in ancient cultures from all over the world. Måne is the Norwegian word for moon.

«There is something about a wooden bowl that makes us think of red apples. Red apples makes us think of scrumping. And scrumping makes us think of the moon» – Torbjørn Anderssen.

The space defined by the curvy underside of the bowl and the table top is the beauty of this object – a play of light and shadow.

«Nedre Foss is all about bringing what is useful together with something which is clearly sculptural in a way where these two properties becomes equally important to the identity of the object. Keeping the parabolic read of a traditional bowl, we started looking for beauty in the space between the object and the table top».
