🌟 Product Description for "Rays Tray – Rectangle"
Light, Layered in Veneer
A quiet shimmer for your everyday life.
This tray features "Kosen-bari", a signature technique by MORI KOUGEI in which triangular pieces of natural wood veneer are carefully laid out in a radiant, sunbeam-like pattern.
As the light shifts, the grain comes alive—like ripples of sunlight reflecting on water.
Precision That Only Hands Can Achieve
This tray is made by MORI KOUGEI, a third-generation workshop in Tokushima, Japan, specializing in wood veneer applications for over 70 years.
Applying craftsmanship rooted in architectural woodworking, they’ve developed a way to "draw patterns with wood."
The placement, angles, and natural grain require intuitive judgment, something only a seasoned artisan can provide.
Each piece is made by hand—not mass-produced—resulting in a quietly refined finish.
Practical Elegance of a Rectangle
From breakfast trays to entryway displays, the rectangular format brings both functionality and calm design presence.
Use it to serve, display, or decorate:
-
A cup and plate for your morning
-
A base for treasured ceramics or flower vases
-
A display for small objects, keys, or incense
-
Or integrate it into your interior styling with plants and art
The Natural Beauty of Carefully Chosen Woods
Each tray is made from a single wood species selected to complement the radial grain pattern.
Even with the same design, the character of each wood brings a unique impression.
