The Marcel Nut Bowl Set | Walnut Wood

Wood Color Dark Chestnut Walnut Black Light Chestnut

The Design Story

A handcrafted serving set that pairs sculptural bowls with a softly rounded tray, revealing the natural character of richly grained wood.

Marcel brings everyday serving into the realm of considered design. Four handcrafted wooden bowls rest within a coordinating tray, creating a cohesive composition that feels equally at home on a dining table, kitchen island, or entertaining surface. Rather than concealing the material beneath ornament, the design makes the wood grain the defining visual element.

Each piece is enhanced through sandblasting, a technique that brings greater definition to the natural grain while creating a subtly tactile surface. The result is a serving set with warmth, texture, and an unmistakably handcrafted character—equally suited to casual gatherings and more composed entertaining.

Material Character

The Nature of the Piece

Wood is the defining character of Marcel, with the sandblasting process bringing the grain forward as both a visual and tactile element. The pronounced linear patterns create natural movement across each bowl and the tray, ensuring that the surface feels richly dimensional rather than uniformly finished.

Because the set is handcrafted and offered in four wood tones, each variation carries its own interpretation of the material. From the deeper character of Walnut and Dark Chestnut to the lighter warmth of Light Chestnut and the dramatic presence of Black, the wood remains the focal point.

No two homes come together in quite the same way—and neither do the pieces chosen for them. Our collection brings together furnishings and objects from a variety of makers and manufacturers, each with its own production schedules, shipping methods, and delivery options.

We consider those differences part of the process of sourcing pieces with character. Whether an item arrives by parcel within days, travels by freight, or is prepared especially for your order, our focus remains the same: selecting pieces worth bringing into your home and making the journey from their source to your space as thoughtful as possible.

A well-considered home isn't assembled all at once. It takes shape piece by piece, through objects chosen not simply to fill a space, but to make that space feel like home.
