Thank you, Inglenuk Design, for adding a bit of personality to our table!
You can’t tell me that these bowls don’t make you stop for a second. “How adorable!”
Or “That’s awesome!”
Both of these expressions came from my mouth on the evening that I got to take a walk through Inglenuk Design, a Vancouver-based showroom of gorgeous pieces of decor. And when I say gorgeous – I mean it.
Inglenuk proudly shows off its collection of Karim Rashid’s servingware. The colours of this line immediately grabbed me. What colour would you choose?
I’m leaning towards the blue… but the yellow is something awesome too.
You may have seen this piece on my Instagram: this vase is a cloisonne piece by Piling Palang. Cloisonne is the art of handcrafting designs onto metal using coloured glass paste that fills enclosures made of copper or glass wires. It is then fired and then re-filled several times, as the enamel shrinks in each firing.
As a result, these large vases are showpieces of time, patience, and beauty.
There is a tiffin-box piece that I adored, too. You can see it here.
These lacquer boxes – also created by Piling Palang – caught my eye as I traveled around the showroom. So lovely and so detailed.
And then I stumbled onto this corner of the shop. Where my face broke out into a grin.
Wouldn’t yours?
I was thrilled to find a few pairs of feet that would be joining me at home.
Hello dinner. Going somewhere?
You know that the girls were absolutely thrilled with this Dylan Kendall set of small bowls (with a medium-sized Mama bowl to hold the main). The feet are charming, and Lila and Lucy giggled as they forked their noodles from their dishes.
And that was the intent behind these bowls: read more about Dylan Kendall and the motivation behind her pieces.
And as one of Inglenuk’s founders, Leandro Ang, pointed out to me, the little feet on the bowls make them perfect for small hands to hold.
What’s even crazier is that they’re dishwasher and microwave safe. Yeah, I know. I was shocked when I turned the little bowls over and discovered that.
Inglenuk has a bit of fun for every household, whether it’s the delicate and beautiful lines of a Piling Palang piece, the angular designs of Karim Rashid’s glassware, or the quirky sensibilities of Dylan Kendall’s sweet feet (they have mugs – did you see that?).
Check them out online, and tell them that you saw their bowls dancing on Suburble!

Those bowls are way too cute and they put a smile on my face too! Thanks for the link, I’m “hopping” over to take a peek!
Tara
It’s hard not to smile when you look at them – maybe it’s the toes!?!? You’ll get lost in all of the beautiful stuff at Inglenuk, Heather! It’s a collection of gorgeousness!
Virginia Fynes
I LOVE the mugs!! the feet are too funny! My husband would want the orange and blue ones! Sliding over to take a look!
Tara
The mugs are really too adorable, aren’t they? I really want the blue one too! And if you’re at a desk during the day (like Mr. Suburble is sometimes), what a great way to remind you to take things not-so-seriously all the time!
Britt @ My. Daily. Randomness.
LOVE that bowl!
Tara
Oh, me too, Britt. I’m hankering for some mugs now!
Lynne from Design The Life You Want to Live

That vase is amazing! Just stunning… And of course, my girls would love a bowl with feet… how cool is that! Thanks for introducing me to Inglenuk Design Tara!
Natalie
Tara
The vase is gasp-inducing, Nat. I saw it and thought, “Oh man… I want it!”
The Efeet bowls are just too adorable. I think that any kidlet would be thrilled to eat their noodles out of a bowl that might just run away on them!
Kay
All those pieces are gorgeous! My little girl would LOVE the feet bowls. 🙂 Definitely going to get her some. Thanks for sharing such a unique store!
Tara
Oh, the feet bowls are SUCH a hit with my gang! Let me know if you get any – they’ve been so much fun so far!

Those dishes with the feet are adorable and gorgeous!! “Hello dinner. Going somewhere?” Bahahaha!! I laughed out loud!
And the blue on that vase is stunning! That is such a show-stopper!
Tara
Show-stopper is a perfect word for that vase, Natalie. Love it.
And I’m glad that you laughed at my “Hello Dinner” comment. I really felt that way. It was like my dinner had a personality all its own! 🙂
gemma@thesweetestdigs
That turquoise bowl is so gorgeous!! Love their stuff!

Aren’t they fab, Jo-Anna? The Karim Rashid line is absolutely gorgeous, and the bowls are just the most darling things ever. I am very serious about adding some mugs to our collection!

Tara
It is all such lovely stuff. It was quite the treat to visit such a gorgeous showroom. The bowls are a little bit of happiness on our table now!
SheilaG @ Plum Doodles
What lovely designs! Of course I love the purple in Karim Rashid’s line. Those footed mugs and bowls are adorable- you really can’t tell someone not to play with their food when it’s in one of those! 🙂
Tara
You’re so right, Sheila – it’s like you’re already playing with your food when you serve in those eFeet bowls! And I agree – I love the fearless use of colour in Karim Rashid’s dishes. So lovely.
Alex
My younger daughter was sitting on my lap as I was reading this and she loved the foot bowls! Did I ever tell you a long time ago, I interviewed Karim? It was one of the most memorable ones I had done b/c his answers really made me think.
Tara
Oh, we’ll have to chat about that Alex. I’ve read some of Karim’s tweets, and he’s got so many little nuggets of wisdom out there.
It was my youngest (Lucy) who really took to the bowls. She loves them SO much!
Gingermommy
Love that they are so fun yet still such great quality. My family would adore these
Tara
It’s too true – they’re a fun way to set the table, but we’re still using high-quality servingware. That can go in a dishwasher. Can I get a woot woot! 😉
Stacy Risenmay
Oh my word these are darling! My kids would LOVE the ones with feet! Thanks for letting us know about them 🙂
Tara
Oh, my kids went nuts when we opened them. It’s so nice to have fun dishes for the kids that aren’t garish and plastic. They’re already a huge hit in our household!
Angie@Echoes of Laughter
OH my gosh! What a beautiful line of gift ware! I love the mugs and the platters! So bright and colourful! You are so right…a lovely addtition to any home!

Dani @ lifeovereasy
I think I love everything you posted from there! I’ll have to put that on my places to check out list.
Tara
Oh, Dani – I was thinking of you when I wrote this post. You have an eye for the awesome and unique. 🙂

Tara
Aren’t they? It’s just too awesome!
Christine
I want the bowls… oh and the cups too!!! Soooooooo cool! I bet Emanuelle would actually eat if I would serve her dinner in one!
Tara
That’s what I noticed too, Christine! Lucy was all to happy to eat some fruit from her little foot-bowl! She loved them!
Laurie@ Vin’yet Etc.
The feet on the bowls and the cups are way too cute!!!
