Ballerina Bowl
Made by Skultuna
Claesson Koivisto Rune drew from the kinetic grace of a spinning dancer to conceive the Ballerina Bowl for Skultuna. The convex base is the design's quiet gesture: set the bowl on a surface and it rests in composed stillness, but the lightest touch sets it into a gentle, swaying motion that betrays the precision underneath.
The polished brass interior is deliberately concave, creating a reflective distortion that reads as flat to the eye. The actual curvature of the form is revealed only through touch, or through the rocking movement itself. This play between appearance and reality gives the object a considered wit rare in functional wares.
Available in three sizes, the bowls hold anything from wrapped sweets and keys to small collected objects. Each is produced by Skultuna, the Swedish metalworks founded in 1607 under royal warrant, with an unbroken tradition of refined brass craft spanning four centuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Ballerina Bowl rock when touched?
The bowl's convex base is the source of its movement. Rather than sitting flat, the rounded underside allows the piece to sway gently when nudged, a deliberate design choice by Claesson Koivisto Rune that references the dynamic balance of a dancer on stage.
What material is the Skultuna Ballerina Bowl made from?
The Ballerina Bowl is cast and finished in polished brass, a material Skultuna has worked with since its founding in 1607. The interior is polished to a concave form that creates a subtle optical illusion, making the curved bowl appear flat when viewed from above.
How many sizes does the Ballerina Bowl come in?
The Ballerina Bowl is offered in a collection of three sizes, each sharing the same convex base and optical interior, allowing them to be used individually or grouped together.
Who designed the Ballerina Bowl for Skultuna?
The Ballerina Bowl was designed by the Stockholm-based architecture and design studio Claesson Koivisto Rune, founded by Mårten Claesson, Eero Koivisto, and Ola Rune. The studio is known for work that bridges disciplinary boundaries and brings conceptual precision to everyday objects.
What is Skultuna's history as a brand?
Skultuna was established in 1607 in the Swedish town of the same name, under royal warrant from the Swedish monarchy. It is one of the oldest continuously operating metalworks in the world, with a heritage built on fine brass craftsmanship and ongoing collaborations with leading contemporary designers.
