Normann Copenhagen launches Chub, a series of stubby wooden bowls designed by Finnish designer Sami Kallio. With its inherently playful yet minimalistic design, Chub stands out for its evident sturdiness, a tribute to the solid, durable quality of wooden interior objects from the designer’s 1970’s childhood.

Chub is crafted from FSCTM certified (FSC-C163461) ash and distinguished by four chubby feet placed at each corner in an almost monolithic manner. An elegantly curved bowl rests atop, adding a utilitarian element to the design, which presents itself as a decorative object and a functional bowl in equal measure. Sami Kallio elaborates: “The idea was to create something between a podium and a bowl. Sculptural enough to be its own centerpiece, but simple enough to let any contents shine”.

Chub Bowl comes in three different sizes and three finishes of Bright Red, Ash or Warm Grey, mirroring Normann Copenhagen’s signature colour palette while complementing the stringent silhouette of the design. With its carefully curated options, Chub offers something for monochrome interiors and colorful settings alike.
