"Gustaf Westman turns the Winter Olympics into a tabletop event with Curling Bowl, a glossy, sky-blue snack vessel shaped like a curling stone. Referencing the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, the object translates the logic of the sport into a playful ritual, designed to hold popcorn, chips, or candy, becoming the 'stone,' while the integrated handle doubles as both grip and tray."
"Presented alongside a poster reading 'Curling Bowl: The Olympic Champion of Snacking 2026,' the Swedish designer plays with the aesthetics of official sports merchandise. By borrowing the visual language of global competition, Westman inserts collectible design into the cultural momentum of Milano Cortina. The object also extends his ongoing exploration of inflated silhouettes and candy-colored finishes, where everyday rituals become cartoonish forms."
