He took an everyday object like bowls and serving trays and fused them together to create a sculptural piece. The form of The Dunes Bowl was designed to be organic and free flowing, like sand dunes.

The two dipped parts of the design are different sizes to hold different foods. The method Isola used was producing the main form with 3D printing using laser sintered nylon powder using the perforated holes as part of the design to save on materials, it is only solid where it needs to be. Rather than being flat, the object has two points of support with a third support being an edge. The unique form is sloped by design, which creates beautiful shadows.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
