Marquetry Wood Tray (17.5in/44cm)

Simplicity is key in CasaLatina’s Lara collection. Within the series is a line-up of wooden serving saviors – including this tray – that are carved entirely by hand using marquetry techniques. Skilled artisans from Guadalupe in Venezuela make each ware from a single block of wood, prioritizing clean, pared-back shapes. The community is found within a natural reserve where the state and locals collaboratively administer sustainable forest management.
