Organic Reshaping



Reshape something organic. Raid the fridge and poke around the vegetables. Grate some carrots. Cook some beets. Mash some butternuts. Or juice some beans. And  mold. Cast. Shape. Form. Fashion. Or sculpt with it.

While most designers make use of existing materials Dutch artist Geke Wouters creates her own. Her collection of paper-thin bowls are made from carrots, peppers, beet root, leeks, tomatoes, and other vegetables. Each delicate piece of edible art is made using a drying and forming process that converts organic materials into paper thin layers, giving you the sense of a microscopic view into its intricate cellular structure. True to the natural materials, no two of these vegetable bowls are alike.
