A tribute to the sturdy, solid quality of wooden interior objects from the 1970’s, Chub Bowl is a durable design with distinctive monolithic details. Chub Bowl is crafted from FSC-certified ash. A subtly rounded solid wood bowl rests on a base of four chubby feet, emphasiaing the robustness of the design. An object that lives in the intersection of podiums and bowls, Chub is an equally decorative and practical design. Chub Bowl comes in three sizes and three colour finishes.
With its inherently playful yet minimalistic design, Chub stands out for its evident sturdiness, a tribute to the solid, durable quality of wooden interior objects from the designer’s 1970’s childhood.
Chub is crafted from FSC-certified ash and distinguished by four chubby feet placed at each corner in an almost monolithic manner. An elegantly curved bowl rests atop, adding a utilitarian element to the design, which presents itself as a decorative object and a functional bowl in equal measure.
Designer Sami Kallio elaborates: “The idea was to create something between a podium and a bowl. Sculptural enough to be its own centrepiece, but simple enough to let any contents shine”.

Jan Anderson and Poul Madsen teamed up to create the Normann Copenhagen brand in 1999 with a vision to make a difference in the design industry. Three years later they launched the first product, the lamp Norm 69. Within five years more than 38 products followed, as well as collaborations with established design names and new talent from around the world.
In 2005, Jan and Poul moved from a small design store at Strandboulevarden to an old 1700m2 cinema at Osterbro in Copenhagen. They were determined to create a unique retail environment that would add something new and exciting to Copenhagen. Today the store has not only won several prizes as the coolest design store in Copenhagen, but also serves as a platform for great parties, fashion events, art exhibitions as well as small happenings. Normann Copenhagen loves to challenge the conventional design rules. This is why you will find traditional materials put into untraditional use such as a washing-up bowl in rubber, a vase made out of Silicon and last but not least a dog made out of plastic. Normann Copenhagen is a way of living - a mindset, a way to view the world in a new and different way.
