blomus LITO Steel Wire Fruit & Bread Bowl, 3 Sizes

An open black steel-rod bowl for fruit, bread or display, in small, medium and large sizes.

The LITO bowl is drawn in thin powder-coated black steel rods, so it looks light while holding a full load of fruit or bread. Choose Small (7.9" across, 3.2" high), Medium (9.9" across, 3.6" high) or Large (14.2" across, 3.2" high). The open structure lets air reach apples and citrus, and it makes a sculptural stand-alone object on a console or coffee table. It is both strong and delicate looking, at home in a modern kitchen or a farmhouse dining room.

The designer: Nina Thöming

Nina Thöming (born 1984) is an industrial designer with Flöz Design, a German studio that has worked with blomus for about 15 years. She begins every project by researching what people need and where the market falls short, then turns those findings into objects that are useful first and beautiful too. Her other blomus designs include the PILAR tableware, the MODO and SONO bath ranges and the SPIRIT lantern.

Why we carry it

We are an authorized blomus retailer and have been curating design-led pieces for the home since 2009. LITO is the blomus line we suggest when a room needs warmth without clutter: open forms drawn in thin powder-coated steel rods that read as both modern and farmhouse. blomus is a family company run by the fourth generation of the Blome family in Sundern, Germany. It began in 1921 making bicycle parts, moved into copper, brass, pewter and stainless-steel design pieces in 1961, and has worked under the blomus name since 2000.

Buy once: durability and care

Dust with a soft, dry cloth or wipe with a slightly damp one, then dry; avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the powder coat. The powder coating gives the steel rods an even, matte color all the way around.
