The Waitākere

A bowl in cream marble. Twenty-three centimetres across, seven and a half deep. The curve is what the hand finds first. Cream marble has the softest tonal range of the three stones we use.

Each piece is its own

Cream marble was once limestone, transformed under pressure and heat into stone that carries its veining like a signature. No two slabs share the same pattern. Your Waitākere will have veining particular to its block, different curves, different tones, different rhythms of line. We do not sort for uniformity. The bowl you live with is the only one like it.

What it is for

A bowl. Fruit on a kitchen island. Keys and mail at an entryway. Salad on a dinner table. Limes and lemons before cocktails. Some owners use it for letters, others for hair ties and earrings on a dresser. Some leave it empty as a quiet object on a coffee table. It is heavy and stable enough to be moved between roles. Use it for what your day asks of it.

Where it works

The piece weighs about 3.8 kg. It belongs on something that can carry that. Hard surface, not a runner or fabric. Better in natural light, where the cream marble lifts and the veining reads.

Pairs with

The Cornice plate as a companion serving piece. The Vesper for evening light on the same surface. The Reveal if you want a taller form nearby.

In the box

One bowl. 230 mm diameter, 75 mm depth. Approximately 3.8 kg. Cream marble.

Caring for cream marble

Wipe with a damp cloth. Mild dish soap if needed. Avoid acidic cleaners. Use a coaster under wine glasses or anything citrus. Marble etches with prolonged acid exposure. Marble is not delicate. It is honest. It shows what it has lived through.
