Amari Seagrass Bowl | Black Chevron | Set of 4 | KORISSA
Amari Seagrass Bowl — Black Chevron | Set of 4 | KORISSA
A set of four round handwoven seagrass bowls in four nesting sizes — each with a black chevron zigzag pattern woven into the exterior sides and a natural cream interior. The chevron runs as a continuous band around the full circumference of each bowl, created by alternating black and natural seagrass strands in the weave. The bowls nest inside each other for compact storage. Designed and curated by KORISSA, handmade by Fair Trade artisans in Bangladesh.
Sizes: S: 6.5” × 2.75” tall (16.5 × 7cm) | M: 7.5” × 3.25” tall (19 × 8cm) | L: 8” × 3.5” tall (20.5 × 9cm) | XL: 9” × 4” tall (23 × 10cm)
The Chevron — A Pattern That Has Never Gone Out of Style
The chevron — a repeating V-shape, also called a zigzag — is one of the oldest geometric patterns in human decorative history, appearing in prehistoric cave paintings, ancient Greek pottery, medieval heraldry, and contemporary textile design. It is a pattern that the eye follows naturally: the V-shape creates a rhythm that reads as movement, as direction, as energy contained within a repeating structure.
In the Amari bowl, the chevron is not printed or applied — it is woven into the structure of the bowl itself, created by the alternation of black and natural seagrass strands as the weave progresses around the circumference. The pattern is the weave. The weave is the pattern. The result is a bowl that is simultaneously a functional object and a piece of textile art.
How It Improves Your Daily Life
A set of four nesting bowls in graduated sizes is one of the most versatile objects in a home. Use the largest as a fruit bowl on the kitchen counter, the medium for keys and small objects near the entrance, the small for jewelry or hair ties on a bedside table, and the smallest for a candle or a single succulent. Or use all four together on a coffee table or shelf as a display — the nesting sizes and the consistent chevron pattern create a visual set that reads as designed rather than collected.
The seagrass construction means the bowls are lightweight, naturally non-slip on most surfaces, and gentle on the objects placed inside them. The cream interior makes the contents visible and easy to find.
Why Seagrass & Woven Chevron?
Seagrass is harvested from coastal wetlands — fast-growing, naturally renewable, requiring no pesticides or irrigation. The fiber is strong, slightly flexible, and biodegradable at end of life. The black color in the chevron pattern comes from naturally dyed seagrass strands — the contrast between black and natural creates the graphic quality of the pattern without synthetic dyes on the finished surface.
Fair Trade Artisan-Made
Designed and curated by KORISSA, handwoven by Fair Trade artisans in Bangladesh. Fair wages, safe working conditions, community investment. The chevron pattern is woven by hand — slight variations in the spacing and angle of the zigzag are inherent to the process. No two bowls are identical.
