Terra: Stack

Terra Stack is a sculptural arrangement of wooden bowls designed to blur the boundary between art object and functional tableware. When stacked, the bowls nestle together in a harmonious vertical composition—a quiet sculpture that celebrates the beauty of simple forms and natural wood grain. Yet the piece holds a delightful secret: when visitors arrive, the sculpture dissolves into service. Each bowl can be lifted away and placed at the table, transforming from aesthetic contemplation into communal use. This dual nature speaks to a philosophy where beauty and utility need not exist separately—where the objects we display can also be the ones we share meals from. Once the gathering ends and the bowls are washed and returned, Terra Stack reassembles itself, ready to stand as sculpture once more. Together, form and function intertwine, offering a piece that lives beautifully on the shelf and serves graciously at the table—a quiet celebration of objects that earn their place in our homes by being both lovely and useful.
