This piece combines a deep, textured wooden bowl with an organic, sculpted bronze element, created by the renowned designer David Marshall in Spain during the 1980s. The design reflects a sophisticated Organic Brutalist influence, characterized by the raw, natural finish of the wood and the deliberately irregular surface of the bronze. Marshall's work is recognized for the harmonious integration of contrasting materials, particularly the warmth of wood and the coolness of metal, celebrating both natural textures and artistic abstraction. The wooden base features a rich, dark patina and a hand-carved, rustic appearance, providing a solid foundation for the metal structure. This bronze element, shaped like an abstract flame or a stylized handle, acts as both a sculptural centerpiece and a functional support. The piece retains its original patina on both the bronze and the wood, showcasing a rich tonal depth that speaks to its vintage nature and artisanal construction. It is a dual-purpose object, functioning as a distinctive fruit bowl or simply as an eye-catching decorative sculpture, embodying the artistic and functional approach of Mid-Century and Post-Modern design.
