STEEL 'N BEAUTY: The Maya steel bowl was designed in 1977 by Giulio Confalonieri with an Art Deco-meets-futurist reference and a simple step-upward splaying outward design. Genius. STYLE TIP: Fill this gorgeous thing with mounds of dragon fruit, pomegranates or black beauty eggplants for striking effects. FINAL NOTE: One classic bowl like this is all you need.
