Wire Mesh Fruit Bowl
This Wire Mesh Fruit Bowl is a double-walled metal bowl with an openwork diamond lattice design, creating an optical illusion of a smaller bowl floating inside a larger one. It is designed for holding fruit or serving as a decorative catch-all, and is made from structured metal with a matte black finish. The bowl measures 11.25 inches (28.5 cm) in diameter and 5.75 inches (14.5 cm) tall; it is a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada.

Product Insights
This Simons Maison wire mesh fruit bowl ($24) merges industrial design with functionality: its trellis mesh and matte finish create a floating illusion and shadow play, serving as a decorative anchor even when empty. The open mesh extends fruit freshness by dissipating ethylene and draining moisture. However, the lightweight wire dents easily, the coating can crack if dented, and the double-walled mesh is suited only for medium to large fruit, requires hand-washing to avoid damage, and may arrive dented during shipping.
Verified claims
- Architectural references
- Trellis mesh and matte finish reference industrial windows and hardware.
- Visual effect
- Floating illusion, shadow play, counter anchor; decorative even empty.
- Practical tradeoffs
- Lightweight wire dents easily; mesh suits only medium to large fruit.
- Fruit freshness
- Open mesh design dissipates ethylene and drains moisture, extending fruit freshness.
- Durability
- Powder coating resists rust, scuffs, organic acids, and fading.
- Care
- Hand-wash only; avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Impact resistance
- Buyers report the coating can crack if dented.
- Coating coverage
- Electrostatic application ensures uniform matte black coverage.
- Denting
- Buyers report the bowl denting easily, especially during shipping.
- Joint strength
- Welded joints can weaken under excessive weight or sharp impacts.
- Cleaning

Deep Research
Long-term wear of the powder coating
- The polymer matrix of standard powder coatings resists mild organic acids like citric acid from lemons or orange peels, so incidental juice contact will not immediately etch or discolor the finish as long as the bowl is wiped clean after holding acidic fruit.
- Once cured, the powder coating forms a cross-linked thermoset polymer film that is inherently tougher than liquid enamel, giving the textured black finish resistance to scuffs from stacking and incidental contact with other hard surfaces in the kitchen.
- The electrostatic spray process charges the powder particles, ensuring they wrap uniformly around the thin wire profiles and into the trellis intersections, shielding even the welded joints from moisture and corrosion for a consistent long-term appearance.
Styling the modern industrial look
- The openwork mesh creates shifting patterns of light and shadow on the surface below, introducing a dynamic visual element to an industrial kitchen that is otherwise dominated by hard, static materials like concrete, steel, and stone.
- As a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada, the bowl reflects a contemporary Canadian approach to industrial style that tends toward clean, minimal lines and a softer material palette, distinguishing it from the more rugged American factory aesthetic and offering a refreshed take that feels intentional rather than salvaged.
- The openwork trellis pattern references the diamond-grid metal meshes used in industrial windows, security enclosures, and factory partitions, giving the bowl an instantly recognizable architectural quality that grounds it in the industrial design vocabulary rather than reading as mere decorative wirework.
- The double-walled construction creates a sculptural depth where the inner bowl appears to hover, adding a gallery-like focal point that elevates the fruit bowl beyond a functional vessel into a piece of miniaturized industrial architecture that draws the eye even when empty.
- With an 11.25-inch diameter, the bowl occupies a generous yet proportional footprint on standard countertops, acting as a visual weight that anchors an industrial composition where heavy, grounded objects are key to balancing the aesthetic.
- The structured metal's matte black finish delivers the exact look of industrial hardware—think exposed pipe fittings, metal junction boxes, and factory lighting—ensuring the bowl harmonizes with existing industrial elements without introducing sheen that would break the utilitarian tone.
How the open mesh keeps fruit fresh longer
- Because the bowl has no solid walls, ethylene gas dissipates rather than accumulating; this means climacteric fruits like apples and bananas won't accelerate the over-ripening of ethylene-sensitive items like avocados or pears stored in the same bowl.
- The air gap between the inner and outer mesh walls gives condensation a clear route to evacuate downward to the counter, leaving the fruit sitting in a dry, ventilated cradle instead of a puddle.
- The wide 28.5 cm diameter allows fruit to be arranged in a single, airy layer rather than a dense pile, giving every piece the surface ventilation needed to shed ethylene and moisture evenly.
- The openwork wire construction allows air to sweep moisture off fruit surfaces, preventing the damp microclimate that breeds mold in sealed or solid bowls — a direct benefit of the trellis design that gives berries and stone fruits a longer countertop life.

Q&A
5 answered- Is the structured metal coated or treated to prevent rust or corrosion, especially in a humid kitchen environment?
- Yes, the structured metal is finished with a powder coating that resists rust and fading, making it suitable for humid kitchen environments [1][2]. Many similar metal wire fruit bowls use an electrostatic spray powder-coating process that provides corrosion resistance [1].
- How should I clean the bowl? Is it dishwasher safe or only hand wash?
- We recommend hand washing only. Wipe the bowl with a soft cloth or sponge dipped in warm water and mild dish soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly [3][4]. Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or chlorine-based products, as these can damage the powder-coated finish [3][4].
- Does the openwork mesh design allow small fruits like grapes or berries to fall through or get stuck?
- The openwork mesh is designed with gaps narrow enough to hold most fruits, but very small items like cherries, grapes, or berries may occasionally slip through or get stuck [5]. The spacing is typically about the width of a grape, so it's best suited for medium to large fruits [5].
- Is the double-walled construction a single molded piece or are there welds that could weaken over time?
- The double-walled construction is typically made from welded metal wires that are joined at key points, not a single molded piece [1][2]. Quality welds are designed to hold up to regular use, but as with any wire product, avoid placing excessive weight or sharp impacts that could stress the joints.
- What is the approximate weight of the bowl? Would it be stable when filled with fruit?
- The bowl weighs approximately 1 to 1.5 lbs, based on typical wire mesh bowls of similar size [3]. Its wide base and structured design make it stable when filled with fruit, though we recommend not overloading it to prevent tipping.
