Bamboo
A grass rather than a timber, cut and regrown in a few years instead of a few decades. Light, hard, and warm to the touch.
BAMBOO & BLACK STEEL14 in / 36 cm
Warm wood · Matte steel rail
A bamboo tray with a thin black steel rail running round the edge, so nothing slides off when you carry it. Warm wood against matte metal — the two materials the rest of the house is already made of. Coffee table, front door, bathroom counter: it works wherever small things collect.

14 x 6.5 in / 36 x 17 cm, and 2.3 in / 6 cm tall including the rail. Long enough for a candle and two glasses, narrow enough to sit on a bathroom counter.
It stops things sliding off while you carry the tray. It also gives the edge a line of black that ties the wood to the metal already in the room.
Briefly. Bamboo is sealed but not waterproof — wipe spills rather than letting them stand, and never put it in the dishwasher.
The base is flat bamboo with no metal touching the surface. On a lacquered table, a felt pad or a cloth underneath is still the safe habit.
A bamboo tray with a thin black steel rail running round the edge, so nothing slides off when you carry it. Warm wood against matte metal — the two materials the rest of the house is already made of. Use it on the coffee table for the remote and a candle, by the front door for keys, or on the bathroom counter. 14" x 6.5" x 2.3".
Wipe with a damp cloth. Don't soak it.

We work with solid wood, stone, glass and natural fibre, chosen for how they age rather than how they photograph. Every piece is finished by hand, so grain, tone and outline shift from one to the next.
A QUIET OBJECT
Keys, a candle, the remote, a pair of glasses. Loose on a table they read as mess; inside a rail they read as arranged. Nothing about the tray asks for attention — it just draws a line around the things that were already there.

MATERIAL & MAKING
Bamboo for the warmth, steel for the edge. No plastic, no veneer.
Fast-growing
A grass rather than a timber, cut and regrown in a few years instead of a few decades. Light, hard, and warm to the touch.
Powder-coated
Thin bar bent round the tray and finished matte black, so it holds a line without catching light the way chrome does.
Flat
Two and a bit inches tall. Enough to hold things in, low enough that the tray never becomes the tallest thing on the table.
Neutral
Coffee table, entry console, bathroom counter, bedside. It changes job every time you move it and looks right in all of them.
FROM THE WORKSHOP
“The rail is the whole design. Take it off and you have a board; leave it on and you have somewhere to put things down. We keep the bar as thin as it can be and still do its job, because the wood should be what you notice.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few things worth knowing before it arrives.
Yes, solid bamboo rather than a printed board. You can see the grain lines running the length of the tray.
It is powder-coated rather than painted, which is a far harder finish. Dropping it on a stone floor would mark it; ordinary use will not.
For dry food and served plates, yes. It is a tray rather than a board — don't cut on it and don't let anything oily sit on the wood.
A damp cloth and a dry-off. No dishwasher, no soaking, no abrasive sponge on the black rail.
Yes. It arrives as one piece, ready to put down wherever you need it.


Made by hand
Every piece is shaped, sanded and finished in a small workshop. Grain, tone and outline move from one to the next, so the piece that arrives is yours rather than a copy of the photograph.
