SHINJU TRAY, BIG - COFFEE

SHINJU TRAY, BIG - COFFEE

Designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl.

Shinju, the Japanese word for Pearl, is a collection of trays carried on ceramic pearls.

Differentiating in size and positioned sporadically, the pearls adds a certain lightness and becomes a jewellery-like detail.

The rectangular shape and depth of the tray, makes Shinju ideal for different storage purposes, or as a decorative object with a branch or set of dry flowers.

Shinju Tray comes in two sizes and is made from ceramic. The surface is hand glazed in order to achieve a unique surface texture.

The colours may vary slightly, due to that it is a handmade product.
The tray is not 100% waterproof.
