Frozen in Time - Milk Drop and Water Droplet Bowls inspired by Harold Edgerton
Harold Edgerton's astonishing photographs of everyday events, frozen in time, won him acclaim around the world. His "Coronet" milk drop photo was
featured in the New York Museum of Modern Art's first photography
exhibit (1937). Not only had his work made a splash in the art and science community, they also inspired many others in product design.
The organic and geometrical forms of the design merge in a surprisingly lifelike manner.
The Fruit Bowl can easily be moved by gripping the upper part of the drop.The Fruit Bowl is manufactured from highest quality 18/10 stainless steel.
