			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Same simple design. Shiny new name.</p>
<p>After living with the name for a few years I feel it&#8217;s time to change it to something that is a little more&#8230;.. fitting.</p>
<p><em>Bol? What was that about anyway?</em></p>
<p>The whole idea for this product started with the simple question &#8220;We take fruit from the tree, what happens if we were to put it back?&#8221;</p>
<p>The original name was an attempt at a play on words, taken loosely from the Spanish word &#8216;Arbol&#8217; which means tree. In a flash of caffeine fueled inspiration this was shortened to &#8216;bol&#8217;, because its like a bowl, but not.</p>
<p>The new name is still Spanish, but now translates to &#8216;little tree&#8217; which makes more sense given the original inspiration for the product.</p>
<p>So there you have it. The Arbolito Fruitbowl, available in <strong><a title="Arbolito – Plywood" href="http://christophermetcalfe.com/portfolio/products/arbolito-plywood/">plywood</a></strong> and <strong><a title="Arbolito – Polycarbonate" href="http://christophermetcalfe.com/portfolio/products/arbolito-polycarbonate/">polycarbonate</a></strong>.</p>
