An object for the house
We wanted a walnut coffee tray the counter could keep at three scales
What the piece is made of, how it takes its place, how to keep it honest, and how it reaches you. Meaning needs a body.
I
The grain in the piece.
II
How it takes its place.
III
How to keep it honest.
Wipe dry after fruit or tea. Do not soak. Do not dishwasher. Oil the face if it dries. Keep away from open flame.
IV
How it reaches you.
Items may arrive in multiple parcels
Pieces already in the UAE may be collected together and leave as one parcel. International partner stock may still travel as separate parcels and arrive on different days.
The tea hour was using a cutting board as a tray. We wanted walnut at three scales — coffee, fruit, the cup.
Black walnut, frosted rather than glossy, with a shallow curved lip that keeps the cup where you set it down. Three sizes for coffee, fruit, or the pot — pick the scale the counter actually needs.
Hold.
On the tea rail — grandma’s tray after heat. We celebrate three walnut scales that stay two centimetres tall. Meaning is a tray the cup can land on.
Set the cup down. Do not balance it on the board.
