About Project

A collapsible fruit bowl with a modular design that encourages customization. Contents include an octagonal plastic unit, with interchangeable wooden and aluminum legs, as well as rubber and cork feet (to keep the bowl from scratching one's kitchen counter or table). Due to its spiraling design, the bowl is held together by friction and compression - no "hardware" is used. And, while not necessary for the structural integrity of the bowl, rubber bands, baker's twine, and other similar materials can be used to personalize the bowl.
