Calabash as Material, Art and Design

The calabash may be the most used vegetable there is? The perfect container, or so they must have thought some 8000 years ago in Africa, America and Asia. 

Here some beautiful examples from the web of calabash art and design, from all over the world. And then, the beautiful calabash shaped pendant by the Danish design pair  Komplot Design for Lightyears. Just love it! Don't you? Just perfect for adding color and modernity to your wabi sabi home.
