Pep Black Vessel Bowl

To preserve the unique travertine-like finish, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to prevent debris from settling into the textured surface. For minor spills or marks, our care guide suggests using a cloth lightly dampened with a solution of mild soap and water. Always avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the specialized finish and alter the appearance of the man-made stone.

The sculptural, contemporary silhouette of a canoe-shaped bowl allows for versatile styling. For a minimalist, modern look, it is best left empty to showcase the intricate, travertine-inspired texture. To add an organic element, consider filling it with air plants, polished river stones, or decorative moss spheres. Its elongated shape also makes it an ideal base for seasonal decor, such as ornaments during the holidays or dried botanicals in the autumn.

Scale is essential when choosing a centerpiece. With a significant 29-inch width, this vessel is designed to make a horizontal impact. As a general rule of thumb for interior styling, a centerpiece should occupy approximately one-half to two-thirds the length of the surface it sits on. Its low 2.75-inch height ensures it enhances the room's aesthetic without obstructing sightlines across a dining table or living area.

This vessel is intended for decorative purposes and is not rated as food-safe. While it is perfect for displaying wrapped treats or fruit with thick skins (like oranges or lemons), our expertise recommends avoiding direct contact with unpackaged food. It serves best as a sculptural accent or a container for non-perishable decorative fillers.

This bowl is crafted from a specialized man-made stone designed to replicate the porous, earthy look and feel of natural travertine. Using a cast stone material provides a high level of durability and a consistent finish that is often difficult to achieve with natural quarried stone. This construction offers the high-end, weighted feel of masonry while being more resistant to the chips and cracks that can occur with natural travertine.

Yes, this piece is specifically well-suited for compact living spaces and high-traffic transitional areas. Its slim 6.5-inch depth is designed to fit comfortably on narrow console tables—such as the Desnet black console—or slim fireplace mantels where space is at a premium. Despite its small footprint, the 29-inch length provides substantial room to function as a sophisticated "catchall" for keys, mail, and daily essentials in an urban entryway.
