How it is made

About 11 hours on the bed, then by hand

Nothing exists until you reserve it. The Still Bowl then goes through the same seven steps as every piece the studio makes — the same spool, the same bed, the same bench — before it is wrapped and sent from India.

  1. A spool of sage-green plant-based filament on the studio bench

  3. A half-finished vase standing on the print bed, layer lines catching the lamp

    03 48 hours on the bed

    Still Bowl holds the bed for about 11 hours.

  4. A finished vase resting beside sanding paper and a brush, dust in the lamplight

    04 Sanded by hand

  5. A vase nested in tissue paper inside an open kraft box

    06 Sealed and signed

  7. A stack of kraft parcels waiting by the studio doorway in morning light

    07 Out the studio door

About this piece

The Still Bowl is the piece with the least design in it, which is why it gets used the most. It is a shallow open form with a gentle lip, and it spends its life by a door collecting keys, coins and the things that come out of pockets.

At 11 hours it is the quickest print we make, and at the lowest price in the catalog it is usually the first piece people order and the one they order again for another room.

It handles dry goods happily — whole fruit, wrapped sweets, a folded pair of glasses. We do not recommend it for loose or wet food: PLA has fine layer lines that are difficult to clean thoroughly, so treat it as a catch-all rather than as tableware.

Where it sits

  • By the front door, for keys
  • A bedside table, for a watch and whatever else comes off at night
  • A kitchen counter, for whole fruit

Still Bowl questions

Is the Still Bowl food-safe?

Treat it as a catch-all, not as tableware. It is fine for whole or wrapped dry items, but the fine layer lines in any PLA print are hard to clean thoroughly, so we do not recommend it for loose or wet food.

Can the Still Bowl go in a dishwasher?

No. PLA softens in sustained heat above roughly 55°C and a dishwasher runs hotter than that. Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it.
