Teak Root Bowl

Low and shallow, at just 6 cm deep, this one stays quiet compared to a piece meant to be the center of attention. The rim wanders slightly rather than running perfectly round, since it follows the shape of the root section it’s carved from, but the overall form reads as a simple, functional bowl before it reads as sculpture.

It comes in two sizes: M at 30 x 30 cm and L at 40 x 40 cm, both the same 6 cm depth. The Natural finish keeps the surface close to the wood’s raw tone, so the grain and any natural marks in the root stay visible.

Carved from the root, not the trunk

The material is teak root, the dense, irregularly grained section at the base of the tree that doesn’t mill into straight boards the way trunk timber does. It’s harder and tighter-grained than the timber used in our dining tables and case goods, which is part of why root carving has stayed a distinct craft on its own rather than a byproduct step in furniture-making. If you’ve also looked at our Clover Bowl, that piece uses a similar carving tradition pushed toward a more dramatic, ruffled rim; this one stays closer to the root’s natural, understated shape.

Where it earns its space

This is an everyday styling piece more than a statement one: a catch-all bowl on a hotel guestroom desk, a small-item tray at a spa reception, a simple serving bowl for an F&B table setting. Its low profile means it stacks or nests into a tabletop arrangement without competing with taller centerpieces.

Ordering for a hospitality project

How is the Teak Root Bowl priced?
Every piece is made-to-order at wholesale volume, so price depends on size and order quantity. There’s no published retail price here; send your project brief and we’ll quote it directly.

Should I order this or the Clover Bowl?
Depth and drama are the difference. This one is shallow and quiet, meant to blend into a tabletop setting. The Clover Bowl is deeper with a more sculptural, ruffled rim, meant to be noticed on its own.

Will pieces in a bulk order vary?
Yes. Each bowl is carved from a different root section, so grain and minor shape variation across a batch is normal for this material, not a defect.
