Polished Bronze Sculptural Decorative Bowl by Simone Bodmer-Turner

About the Item

Sculptural, solid bronze bowl by artist and designer Simone Bodmer-Turner, entitled "Tadpole Bowl." Fluid with movement, yet understated, this work was developed by the artist in close collaboration with a Massachusetts-based bronze foundry and blacksmith. Undulating and gleaming, the piece is polished and waxed to finish. The rolling, asymmetrical form is ambiguously evocative of the oblong body of a tadpole, and would make an elegant addition to a coffee table, bookshelf, or serving as a vide poche atop a dresser or nightstand. A harmonious blend of nature-inspired design and expert craftsmanship, each piece is sandcast from the original form hand-crafted by the artist, and will vary slightly across each unique cast.

  • Sculptural Polished Bronze and Iron Fireplace Andirons by Simone Bodmer-Turner
    By Simone Bodmer-Turner
    Located in New York, NY
    Sculptural polished bronze and iron fireplace andirons by Simone Bodmer-Turner. Highly decorative and fully functional, this set of two andirons bring an element of atmospheric sophistication to the hearth. Fluid with movement, yet understated, the pieces were produced in close collaboration with a Massachusetts-based bronze foundry and blacksmith. With functionality and timelessness at the forefront of Bodmer-Turner’s newest body of work, her language of shape-making – biomorphic, sinewy, and sometimes surrealist – can be found in the subtext of these pieces, where winks of whimsy are folded into practical forms for the interior environment. Sold as a pair, the first edition of "Winged Andirons" are available for immediate placement; forward editions are made to order with a lead time of 12 weeks. About Simone Bodmer-Turner Born in 1990 in Berkeley, California, Simone Bodmer-Turner’s multidisciplinary studio is built around the foundation of her iconic line of abstract, ceramic vases which she first introduced in 2018. Articulations of form, those debut pieces were designed as timeless works in conversation with the power of negative space. Following the founding of her studio, Simone evolved her exploration of the medium into organic ceramic sculptures, as well as paintings that are somewhere between assemblage and land art using local soil and plant material. In 2021, Simone made her foray into furniture design introducing Chair I and in 2022 she released Chair II along with an oversized credenza and a series of one-of–a-kind lighting works that were presented as part of the artist’s first solo exhibition — TAKE PART IN — at Matter Projects in New York. In the years that followed, Simone has moved her practice from Brooklyn, New York to rural Massachusetts where she is honing her sculptural medium, designing custom interiors in plaster, and developing a body of multidisciplinary furniture that straddles the line between art and design. In the spring of 2024, she will present her second solo exhibition entitled ‘A Year Without a Kiln’ at Emma Scully...

  • Hand-Carved Sculptural Chair in Laminated White Washi Paper and Milk Paint
    By Simone Bodmer-Turner
    Located in New York, NY
    One-of-a-kind, sculptural chair finished in milky white laminated washi paper, hand-made by Simone Bodmer-Turner in 2023. Known for graceful and poetic work that balances in between functional and artistic, Bodmer-Turner's "Chair III (Paper)" is as usable as it is visually and spatially compelling. The third-ever chair made by the artist, the singular piece is hand-carved from a wooden substrate, and gleams in Bodmer-Turner's signature stark white textural surface finish, achieved here by coating milk paint over laminated Japanese Washi paper. The wispy, gravity-defying forms of Bodmer-Turner's work is as much about minimalism as it is about movement, and the artist's reverence for history is apparent in the swooping silhouette of "Chair III", paying homage to Carlo Bugatti's celebrated "Cobra Chair" (1902), in which the seat and back are one continuous S-curve, entirely covered in hand-painted parchment paper and embellished with copper decorations. Available for immediate placement, this unique piece is a sophisticated yet playful object that adds a sculptural element to any space.
