Fruit Bowls by George Sowden for Bodum, Sereno I & II, 1987

About the Item

Iconic George Sowden work, the Sereno fruit bowls for Bodum in 1987, are characteristic of the patterns that Sowden is known for. The cut-out pattern design seen in these baskets is reminiscent of Sowden's Memphis group years and was made at the same time. Sereno II, the taller of the pair, is seen on the cover of the book on Sowden's work, "George J. Sowden: Designing, 1970-1990". Satisfying both the maximalist and the minimalist, the unconventional and the traditional, these baskets bring life to the details and draw eyes to the accents. Price per bowl.
