The latest utilitarian object cum art piece that’s got us swooning: wooden bowls by artisan Max Bainbridge, one half of the duo behind the London design firm Forest & Found (his partner, Abigail Booth, fashions modern, hand-sewn quilts). The handmade vessels display the quiet balance of Japanese ceramics combined with the tactile grandeur of wood. Here’s a look at some favorites from the line.

Forest & Found works with the Forestry Commission in Epping Forest to source sustainably managed and storm-damaged sections of British hardwoods.


The unique nature of each piece of wood informs not only the grain, color, and markings but also the form, giving each Forest & Found vessel its own individual character.
