Okay, we confess that every time over the past few years that we’ve presented a new object in the “CACTUS!” line, we’ve declared that it was the last addition to this especially delightful and successful series, and then we end up going back on our word and adding another. And we’re doing it again, but we’re sure you’ll agree that this splendid fruit bowl couldn’t remain on paper. The project represented a significant manufacturing challenge and a major investment for the moulds, but it is also one of the objects in the series that best highlights Marta’s delicate openwork design.
