Following months of experimentation, Luciano Menghini returns with a brand new product — [ALL PURPOSE TRAY] — a continuation of his ongoing exploration of “dynamic ceramics”.
The surface is scalloped and sculpted, designed to anchor small objects — cigarettes, jewelry, dice, that single missing AirPod, keys, lighters, marbles, toothpicks. The list goes on…*
The underside is smooth and slightly sanded down so that the tray rocks ever so gently when items are placed on it. The overall weight keeps it in place.
Because why can’t a traditionally fragile object move with human interaction?
Luciano proves it can.
Volcanic — the counterpart to our celadon friend. This dark colorway is metallic and rustic; a one-of-a-kind based glaze, entirely developed by the artist.
Designed and hand crafted in Los Angeles in small batches, each tray is an incredible example of Luciano’s dedication to hand-craftmanship.
Local LA pickup can be arranged at our studio to avoid shipping costs.
