Organic Travertine Tray

A generous travertine tray, hand carved to preserve the stone's innate organic character, moves effortlessly between the functional and the purely sculptural. At nearly twenty-two inches across, its proportions command a console or coffee table with quiet authority, the natural veining and warm tonality of the travertine doing the work that lesser materials cannot. This is the kind of object that anchors a vignette — grounding a composition of objects while possessing more than enough presence to stand entirely alone.
