About the Item

This listing is for the chital bowl in the small size as shown in the first 4 images. The chital bowls with their amorphous shape are both beautiful and functional as bowls or trays. Available in 4 other sizes and inlaid in different finishes including cream shagreen, black shagreen, blue shell, black shell and bronze-patina brass. The shell pieces are hand-selected before being inlaid creating a unique surface each time. The shagreen is hand-dyed by artisans. This piece is designed by Kifu Augousti, the daughter of Ria and Yiouri Augousti. The dimensions of these pieces are: S: 25 x 13 x 3 cm / 9.8 x 5.1 x 1.2" The other sizes are: XS: 19.5 x 11 x 3 cm / 7.7 x 4.3 x 1.2" M: 29.5 x 15 x 3 cm / 11.6 x 5.9 x 1.2" L: 35.5 x 5.5 x 3 cm / 13.9 x 2.2 x 1.2" All Kifu Paris pieces are handmade by artisans, ultimately making each piece unique. Custom color or sizing available on request. Wipe clean with soft dry cloth. Although inspired by her parents, her collection of Home Accessories and Furniture is a distinct identity of its own. Kifu uses handmade techniques of elaborate inlay patterns of shagreen, shells, semi-precious stones, materials she experienced as a child growing up in her parent’s studio, but interpreted in a younger quirkier way reflecting her youth. From her "jewelry inspired knobs" on decorative boxes, gold bar boxes and an extravagant inlay pattern mix of shagreen and shell inspired by galactic constellations, as seen on her enormous round mirror, is refreshing to see. Kifu embodies whimsical elements throughout her collection and is not afraid to be daring and unexpected in her approach to design. All shagreen-covered items should be kept out of direct sunlight, color variants may occur on the stingray and other exotic finishes, but this showcases the Parisian label's commitment to creating authentic luxurious products using natural components.
