Chan Andreassend New Zealand Design Embedded resin bowls, dishes with pebbles, shells & paua

These unique bowls and dishes have been embedded with natural elements found in the New Zealand landscape. As the resin is translucent the objects appear to float within each object.
The range includes pebbles, stone, paua, shells, feathers, leaves and seeds cast in clear, amber and teal resin.
From small canoe shapes suitable for sauces to soap dishes,sushi plates, bowls and plates, the objects are both functional and decorative.
The large canoe has become one of the most successful Chan Andreassend objects and has influenced pieces in both the Ceramic Bowls and Textured Resin ranges.

A new range of elaborate Inlaid Bowls was created as a result of continuing experimentation with resin casting.

The bowls have two distinct styles.

The first has natural inlaid materials. Leaves of timber veneer, pebbles, paua and flower motifs cut from tapa cloth are enhanced with metal leaf details.

The second has brightly coloured discs and abstract shapes mixed with marbled swirls of colour. The organic, flowing shapes are highly polished on the top surface, creating a multi-dimensional effect in contrast to the
sandblasted bowl interior
