Within a brief which requested us to design of a set of 3 nesting, low cost, polypropylene bowls with an optional lid, we looked for a way to create a unique and beautiful product.
The concept of the Yumi bowls was to create the DNA of the set not by scaling down each bowl in proportion, but rather to have a strong visual line that runs at the same height on all 3 bowls. From this line, each bowl tapers down allowing for the user to easily pick it up from the table and also creates an effect that the bowls are seemingly floating.
Initial concept sketch.
