Arthur Analts and Rudolph Strelis : Money Bowls

London based Latvian designers Arthur Analts and Rudolph Strelis latest project is a series of bowls made in collaboration with the Bank of England. Money Bowls are made in two sizes – 23 cm and 50 cm diameter. The small bowl is made out of 1000 shredded GB pounds, and the large one from 3000 pounds !

Money bowls reflect the thin borders between valuable and useless, stable and variable, ancient and contemporary. Stability – one of the bowls basic principles is taken out. When bowls are spun, they can rotate up to 2 minutes, symbolizing the change and rotation of the cash rate. Bowls are a great accent to the interior as they are intriguing and interactive.

After their success during Clerkenwell Design Week 2012, the bowls will be exhibited at London Design Week in September.
