Fruit Figures

What Are Fruit Figures?

Fruit figures are decorative objects that replicate the shapes and colors of fruits in materials like ceramic, glass, or porcelain. At Dims Studio, you’ll find a carefully curated selection where each figure adds personality and a playful touch to your home. The range is chosen with an eye for humor, nostalgia, and modern design, so you can find fruit figures that perfectly match your style.

Materials and Types of Fruit Figures

Fruit figures at Dims Studio come in several materials, each with its own character and finish. Ceramic is popular for its weight and glazed surface, often hand-painted with details that highlight the fruit’s character. Glass figures, especially from Anna Von Lipa, have a lightness and transparency that give a more refined look. Porcelain figures, like those from Quail, often have a classic appearance with fine, precise details. Additionally, you can find some figures in metal or resin, allowing for more abstract shapes and colors.

Sizes and Dimensions

Fruit figures range from small decorations 4-6 cm tall, perfect for windowsills or shelves, to larger statement pieces up to 18-22 cm. A classic lemon figure typically measures 7-10 cm in length, while a large pineapple object can reach 20 cm in height. Smaller figures are great for grouping, while larger ones can stand alone on a table or shelf as eye-catchers.
