A fruit bowl makes a popular centerpiece, both because it gives you something to look at and also since having some apples or pears out in plain sight makes your family members more likely to choose the healthy snack over the chips in the cupboard (well, that’s the hope anyway). If you want your fruit ensemble to act as a decorative element, you may want to pick something a little more interesting than a plain old wicker basket or stainless steel bowl.

Something like Helena Schepens’ Fruit Vessel III perhaps.

You couldn’t exactly call it a fruit bowl, but perhaps a rocking chair for your pears. Of course, I’m not sure what you would do with grapes or bananas, but if you’re an apple or pear fan, the Fruit Vessel should work nicely. It’ll give the kids something to play with while they’re waiting for you to prepare a snack (just be wary of the potential for fruit being launched across the kitchen… I know I would have used this as a catapult as a youngster).
