The candour of the mateiral, DuPont Corian, the reduction of the shape to the minimalist, its unusual nesting: these are the salient characteristics of the Vertigo trays for bowls, designed by Naoto Fukasawa, which are full of poetry and spirituality. The bowls overlap one inside the other in the round tray and fit together one next to the other in the rectangular tray. And who would dare to interrupt this perfect game by actually using the bowls?
