Exploded Fruit Bowl Puts Your Produce on Display

Charming and irreverent, this exploded fruit stand is part sculpture, part practicality.

This expressive, charming fruit and produce stand by designer Paul Cocksedge is pretty memorable. It takes the notion of a bowl of fruit, and literally explodes it, allowing each orange, apple, and peach to sit on its own pedestal. It creates a display of food akin to a fireworks display.

More conversation piece than anything, the sculptural stand is hand-welded, making it one-of-a-kind. Available by order on Paul Cocksedge’s website.

The ‘Exploded Fruit Bowl’ explodes colour, form, smell and texture outwards. This celebration of colour isn’t just aesthetically appealing; it serves a function by stopping pieces of fruit from being piled on top of one another, as they would be in a conventional fruit bowl.

“The conventional fruit bowl is usually the visual highlight, with the fruit as a secondary element. With this object, I wanted to flip that around and create a sense of positive, colourful energy, making it a focal point in a room.”
