Sara Lacquered Tray - Black

$289.50 NZD

A beautiful fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design principles. The blend of Florentine heritage, mid-century modernism, and Japanese Mingei art creates a rich tapestry of influences that infuse each piece with depth and meaning.

These handmade lacquered wooden trays truly reflect the artistry and dedication of the craftsmen who pour their heart and soul into each piece. The time and effort spent perfecting their techniques are evident in every tray, showcasing not only their skill but also the intimate connection they have with the materials. The fact that each tray is made from a single, high-quality piece of wood lends it an inherent uniqueness, which stands in stark contrast to the precise, uniform look of machine-made goods. The slight imperfections only enhance the charm, as they tell the story of human touch and attention to detail. It's this blend of beauty and craftsmanship that makes each tray not just a functional item, but a piece of art that carries the essence of the artisan's work.

Made entirely by craftsmen hands in Italy. Carved by hand from the highest quality pioppo wood.

100% Wood. 45 x 33cm. This item is for service and decorative, not for direct food use.
