After extensive experimentation, we developed a flame-forming technique that creates a clean, seamless transition from a flat plane to the bowl section using heat, gravity, and rotational movement. Since no molds or shaping tools are used, there is no tool mark or trace of a mold.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"boro-6","title":"Boro Bowl 6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Boro collection explores light, transparency, and playful interactions.
