PlueerSmitt Ceramic Bonbonniere 'Bowl No.1' by Karakter

About the Item

Bonbonniere designed by PlueerSmitt in 2014. Bowl No. 1 is Swiss design duo PlueerSmitt’s characteristically wondrous take on the classic lidded trinket box. On top, a ceramic dome with an added rectangular shape hinting at its actual function as a lid, a deliberate asymmetry adding intrigue to the piece. Underneath the lid a small bowl that serves as storage for treasures.
