These Log Bowls by Loyal Loot Collective are so unique. The combination between natural textures and handmade polished finish is beautiful.
From the Loyal Loot site:
“Log Bowls combine the incomparable beauty of trees in their natural state with a high-gloss vibrant finish. Each bowl is handmade using only locally reclaimed trees of all varieties (fallen or cut down due to infrastructure, re-landscaping, droughts, or stormy weather).The trees are hand selected, gathered, turned and finished by Loyal Loot Collective and local crafts people. Log Bowls come in a large variety of colors and are completed by hand with a water-based, furniture grade finish.”
UK-based Joseph Egan, a student at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, created these amazing anamorphic type installations for his final project. The text only aligns properly when you look at it from a very specific angle.
