Pūriri Bowl

$520 NZD
(Last One)

The Pūriri Bowl is a beautifully grounded piece that celebrates the character and history of native New Zealand timber. Perfectly suited as a fruit bowl or as an ornamental object on a table or shelf, it brings warmth, texture, and quiet presence to any space.

Crafted from pūriri featuring expressive crotch grain, the bowl is rich in movement and depth. A natural bark detail along the rim highlights the timber’s origin, while historical insect holes on the base tell the story of the wood’s life before being shaped by hand. These marks are not imperfections, but an integral part of the bowl’s narrative and individuality.

Handmade by Walk in the Park, each bowl is a one-of-a-kind object—an honest expression of material, time, and craftsmanship.

Dimensions: 27cm diameter × 6cm height

Material: Pūriri with crotch grain.

ABOUT the MAKER

Walk in the Park

Walk In The Park is the studio practice of artist and designer Woo-Lam (Sam) Choi, based in Auckland, New Zealand. Trained in woodworking and furniture design at Hong-ik University in Korea, Sam began exploring wood-turning in 2016. His work today sits at the intersection of form and function — each object carefully hand-turned from timber in his studio, where simplicity and craftsmanship take centre stage. Walk In The Park celebrates honest design where beauty and utility are intertwined. Sam's sculptural vessels, bowls and objects reflect a quiet reverence for material, process and proportion. These timeless pieces are designed to enrich daily rituals, offering a tactile connection to nature and a thoughtful pause in modern life. Tessuti is proud to present a selection of Walk In The Park's work — considered pieces that honour traditional craftsmanship through a contemporary lens.
