The Design

The Set

This curated bundle features a coordinated set of hand-crafted monkey pod wood serving bowls, produced in the Philippines during the mid-20th century for the international home décor market.

Each bowl is individually carved, resulting in organic forms and subtle variations that highlight the character of the wood.
