Each tray features a softly squared silhouette with gently rounded corners and a shallow, sculpted basin that highlights the koa’s natural chatoyance and dramatic grain variation. The warm golden-brown tones and organic movement of the wood make these trays equally suited for functional serving or decorative display, whether styled on a coffee table, console, bar, or open shelving.

The pair consists of two graduated sizes, offering versatility and visual layering—an attribute especially appealing to interior designers creating curated vignettes or organic modern interiors. Signed to the underside “Blair, Hawaii”, these trays reflect the tradition of fine Hawaiian woodworking, where koa has long been associated with craftsmanship, rarity, and understated luxury.

A timeless example of American Modern and organic design, ideal for collectors of studio wood objects and designers seeking natural materials with strong form and authenticity.
