Bardi's Bowl was designed by Lina Bo Bardi in 1951 as part of the furniture in her Glass House residence. In 1953 it began to be produced by Ambiente and has since been published in various foreign magazines specializing in architecture and design. Subsequently, Bardi's Bowl was published in 1985 by Núcleo 8 and in 2013 by Arper. However, these two editions differ in design from the Bardi's Bowl in question.

Another 1951 Lina Bo Bardi's Bowl Chair is part of the collection of New York's MoMA museum.
