Like all Scandis we seek out items that are beautiful, simple and functional all in one. This stainless steel bowl is all of those things: the best Georg Jensen bowl. It is arguably our favourite buy over the last year, epitomising everything Nordic about simple good taste.
The bowl is called the Ilsa mirror polished stainless steel fruit bowl almost too stylish for the kitchen table – but with today’s open plan lifestyle it fits in anywhere.
In a crowded market of things, tools, toys and luxury accessories, it stands out because it is so incredibly simple.
A half circle supported by the simplest foot – no add-on shapes, no carvings, no glitzy rim on top (a Scandi trade-mark look) and just one color.
Whatever fruits or other you put in this bowl it will complement them beautifully.
