KUMI Sharing Bowl, Japanese Style, by blomus

KUMI Sharing Bowl, Japanese Style, by blomus — A flared 50 oz stoneware serving bowl with a reactive glaze, in Espresso or Fungi.

Part of KUMI, the Japanese-inspired, reactive-glazed stoneware collection from the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

A single generous bowl is the heart of a shared meal. This one keeps the flared KUMI profile and simply grows. KUMI is a studio blomus design, created by the brand’s own team in Sundern.

KUMI is blomus looking east. The forms are Japanese in origin and the surface comes from reactive glazing, a process that never repeats itself: the glaze reacts to oxygen in the kiln and settles into its own pattern of flecks and shading on every piece. According to blomus, the name is a Japanese word for eternal beauty. Two natural colors, dark-brown Espresso and mushroom-toned Fungi, are made to sit side by side.

Why You’ll Love It

It is deep enough for a noodle salad for four and handsome enough to leave out as a fruit bowl. The dark Espresso glaze makes greens look vivid; Fungi is softer and suits pale food and wood.

Made for Real Life

Dishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus. Dots, flecks and uneven tones come from the reactive glaze and differ on every piece; blomus notes that KUMI gains character with use over time. Pairs well with the centerpiece platter, bowls, plates.

Why We Love It

No two pieces match exactly, and that is the point: KUMI brings wabi-sabi calm to an everyday table. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
