Canadian designer Philippe Malouin has added a small bowl to new 3D-printed homeware brand Othr's collection of items, as part of its chain of fortnightly product launches (+ slideshow).
The Connection Bowl is Malouin's second design for Othr, which launched during New York design week last month.

Its simple shape comprises a hemispherical dish and two flat vertical panels, which stabilise the rounded base and provide a handle.
One sheet kisses the bowl's lip, while the other sits perpendicular to bridge the gap between the two where the container curves away.

"We focused on those types of connections, which are often invisible to the untrained eye," said Malouin, who is based in London.
"But when you stop and focus on the object and really look at it, you find out how interesting and intricately made it actually is."
The bowl can be 3D-printed in either steel or porcelain, both with dark metallic finishes. It follows the designer's Connection Vessel, a small steel container made in the same way, that featured in Othr's debut collection.

Othr was founded by Joe Doucet, Dean DiSimone and Evan Clabots, who are aiming to "disrupt the current supply chain involved in producing goods" with 3D printing.
