It's 2024 and decor has breezed past the stage of functionality. The existence of decor items don't need to fulfill a purpose anymore. They can just...well, be. Today, there are wooden stools made to hold designer purses, neon lit decal to express emotions across walls and also, bowls which do not hold anything. Australian musician Troye Sivan's lifestyle brand Tsu Lange Yor has launched a brand new offering in their decor niche, which is being called a bottomless bowl. As per the official brand website, the recycled brass alloy bowl is cast by hand, has a rumbled asymmetric finish and is created in collaboration with Joel Adler.

Take a look at the item and you might be befuddled to see nothing except a large metallic-finished ring. That's because the bowl has no bottom and without a base, it isn't able to function like a bowl. You know, to hold fruits or keys or household items you would keep on the table. So bemusing is this new décor creation that it comes with a set of official instructions, which specify "for use, place on a flat, dry surface". While it merely keeps your small items together, it relies on a sturdy base to do that. All of that for the price of $718 for the large size and for those constrained by a budget, $196 for the small size.
Comments across social media on Tsu Lange Yor's bottomless bowl haven't been forgiving. One spoke about the absolutely minimal need for an item like this.
Another questioned the seriousness of it all.
One comment said what was on everyone's mind.
While another spoke about making it the DIY way.
While it may not hold anything like a purposeful bowl would, at least it'll make for amusing conversation at your next dinner party.
