“SALU-SALO” represents the Filipino tradition of displaying 12 round fruits at the dining table to attract good fortune in welcoming the New Year. The vessel’s form expresses the function of the bowls nestling the “lucky fruits” typically featured as the centre pieces of New Year’s Eve spreads in Filipino homes. The fruits are intended to be eaten and shared as a communal act - a way to hold space for family and community during a festive time.
