bowling for fruit

Posted by Melody in being melodious

There’s nothing like a good bowl to display your fruit. We’re not just talking about baskets here or some lame ceramic bowl that you painted at Color Me Mine. We’re talking bowls, baby. Bowls.

Satellite Bowl
The Satellite Bowl - architectural, a commanding way to call attention to your fruit.

Lobo Square Basket
Lobo Square Basket, reintroduced by Alessi, exclusively for the MOMA store - smooth, sleek, and steel.

Lorea Bowl
Lorea Bowl by Zoocreative - like origami and in– my favorite material– wood

David Galindo

Down the road from my A-P-T in the L-B-C is a quaint home furnishings and design shop called David Galindo Home. It’s in a renovated craftsman, run by a furniture designer, David Galindo next to my gas station (what I call a ghetto gas station, but just recently got bought by Valero). With a flair for mid-century modern, he offers his own custom designed and built furniture. He also carries a host of household goods, including candles, lighting, books, mirrors, and kitchen wares.
