One of a Kind — Marquetry Tray

Browse by Series

Each one-of-a-kind tray from MORI KOUGEI carries an expression born from the combination of natural wood veneer — one that can never be replicated. Even within the same composition, no two pieces share the same face. Browse by series to find the one that speaks to you.

Rays Tray
Single-species · Radial
Rays Tray
Radial veneer work

A single wood species arranged in a radial pattern from the center — like rays of light. The color of the wood shifts with the angle of light, making this the origin of MORI KOUGEI's craft.

ISŌ
Figured grain · Bookmatch
ISŌ
Distinct Strata — Premium Rays

Rare figured woods including claro walnut, arranged in a bookmatch configuration. The pinnacle of the Rays Tray series, where the rarity of the material itself takes center stage.

KŌSHI
Single-species · Grid
KŌSHI
Grid veneer work

A single wood species arranged in a grid or checkerboard pattern. The crossing grain directions create a geometric depth and rhythm entirely unique to this composition.

ISŌ–GRID
Figured grain · Grid Bookmatch
ISŌ–GRID
Grid — Special Edition

The figured grain version of KŌSHI. Bookmatched both vertically and horizontally, the grain creates a kaleidoscopic expression within the grid.

PENTA–DRIFT

PENTA–DRIFT

SHŌSEKI
Multi-species · Star Tessellation
SHŌSEKI
Crystal Strata — Star Tessellation
