Now that I’ve shared with you my affinity for bent plywood, here is another bowl stand with a completely different twist.
My good friend Tim Haley (of Tangible Design, inc.) collaborated with me to produce this gem. The following images are renderings of what we would like the final product to look like. We currently have a prototype, which is still at the welder.
These are just two of the color combinations we hope to make available:
In this design, the metal is clear-coated and left “au-natural,” and orange felt is wrapped around the bottom edges, creating a soft boundary for contact with the floor. The felt also adds some visual interest with contrasting color and adds a different textural component.
Here is another color combination we hope to produce.
This bowl holder is extremely sturdy – it is made of steel and has significant heft, which will keep it stationary while pets eat from it. It will also become a permanent fixture in its kitchen. Who says pet products have to be ugly and hidden away when guests come over? If pets are members of our family, then their furniture “counts” just as much as ours does.
