From Whirl & Whittle’s studio collection, 'Not Whole, But Complete', this bowl features fluid rims and sculptural forms without sacrificing functionality— ‘Not Whole, But Complete’ centers on appreciating appreciating beauty from what is seen as brokenness. The pieces take their ethos from the Japanese art of Kintsugi. The founder draws inspiration from the wisdom of Kintsugi - highlighting the pivotal moment in the life of an object.
