SHINJU - Tray

The Shinju Tray by 101 Copenhagen: A Pearl in the World of Design

Capturing the allure of the ocean's most treasured gem, 101 Copenhagen introduces the Shinju Tray, a perfect marriage of functional utility and delicate aesthetics. Drawing from the depths of Japanese culture and artistry, 'Shinju', which translates to 'Pearl', becomes more than just a name; it encapsulates the tray's soul.

At first glance, the Shinju Tray is an embodiment of sophistication. Its ceramic pearls, varying in size and sporadically placed, elevate the tray from a simple flat surface to an ornate piece of art. These pearls don't just support the tray; they give it an airy quality, reminiscent of pearls floating in the ocean, catching the sun's light. It's this delicate feature that transforms the tray into a jewelry-like adornment for your living space.

Functionality meets design with Shinju's rectangular form. Its depth renders it perfect for a multitude of storage needs, be it your trinkets, keys, or even as an elegant holder for a set of dry flowers or a decorative branch. It's a tray, yes, but also an invitation to play with space and aesthetics.

Crafted meticulously from ceramic, the Shinju Tray boasts of a hand-glazed surface that gives it a unique texture. This artisan touch ensures that no two trays are the same, with subtle variations in color that speak of its handmade origins. Though it brims with delicate artistry, potential owners should be mindful that it isn't fully waterproof.

Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl, the masterminds behind this creation, once again showcase their prowess in fusing traditional inspirations with contemporary design. The Shinju Tray isn't just an object; it's an experience, a statement, and a nod to the beauty of details. Whether you're a design enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the finer things, Shinju promises to be a cherished addition to your collection.
