Instead of just a presentation surface, a representative object in its own right: this decorative tray, turned by hand into a fine shape, stands for craftsmanship that is able to bring out the unique grain of the ash wood. Each tray is a small work of art and as unique as the annual rings of the wood from which it was turned - when you hold the tray up to the light and turn it, the alternation of lighter and darker lines on the velvety smooth surface creates a wood image with depth. Its size predestines the tray for versatile use throughout the year, as a practical tray for the smaller and larger items of everyday life as well as a base for decorative arrangements from spring to winter, from Easter to Christmas. And as befits a natural material, the ash wood will reflect the traces of its decorative life over the years. If life has left its mark, you can always gently sand the surface with fine sandpaper or (also) treat it with a care oil.

Creating "living products" - i.e. products that integrate into your life, enrich your everyday life and are allowed to age with dignity - is a goal that is close to the heart of our product designer Markus Stallberg. The focus of his designs is therefore on the innovative added value that a product offers you - and the innovation consists of solving a problem that arises in our everyday lives.

"You don't stumble across good ideas," emphasizes Markus Stallberg. Rather, he approaches the solution to such an everyday problem in many small steps, the direction of which is determined by constant observation and questioning. Until a functional solution has been developed, you have to "sometimes go astray". Trial and error, reconsideration and further improvements are just as much a part of this process as a lively exchange with a wide variety of people. An open ear for their respective needs is essential in order to create a product that is functional and yet not too complex. Close cooperation with experienced manufacturers is just as important. After all, the product should not only have an appealing, integrable design on paper, on the computer and in the self-built model, but should also be well crafted and manufactured in a resource-saving manner. Instead of reinventing the wheel, it is perfectly possible to transfer the tried and tested into the present - with an additional benefit that ideally "satisfies everyone". Life will decide whether this succeeds in the best possible way. And therefore you.

This product is an example of genuine handicraft; therefore, minor deviations in size and colour may occur.
