Groove bowl

Groove, part of Nicola Tessari's bugNature collection, introduces the notion of movement into the static appearance of the hand turned vessel. The name of the bowl comes both from its meaning, groove, slot, flute, as well as a musical term in the African American music indicating the power of making the listeners dance, introducing the idea of movement. The design for the piece comes from a communion between craftsman and the natural grain of the walnut wood, that Nicola follows, intensifying the dialogue between hand and natural material.
