Brea Round Seagrass Tray - Natural

Our Brea tray is a round seagrass tray with a scalloped rim and two looped handles that rise above the scallops. It measures 35cm across and 14.5cm tall, a wide, low shape with a woven wall that circles the whole base, so whatever sits inside stays gathered together. The composition is 70% seagrass and 30% iron, and the whole tray weighs 0.6KG, light enough to carry from room to room by its handles. In its Natural colour the twisted grass has a soft, textured look that sits comfortably beside wood, linen and stone.

Set it wherever small things tend to scatter. On a coffee table it gathers remote controls and a stack of magazines; on a hall console, keys and post; on a kitchen counter, napkins and folded tea towels. In the bathroom it keeps rolled hand towels and bars of soap tidy on a shelf, and on a dressing table it makes a neat home for perfume bottles and jewellery dishes. A nursery shelf works too, with soft toys or a few board books gathered in one place. It suits a relaxed, natural scheme, from a cottage kitchen to a pared-back living room, and makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for anyone who loves woven textures.

The seagrass is twisted into cord and woven in close rows, with the scallops worked as rounded arches along the top of the wall and the handles made from the same cord. The base is a flat woven panel, with small gaps in the weave where it meets the wall. Seagrass is a natural fibre, so each tray varies a little in the tone and texture of its grass. For styling, set it at the centre of a dining table or sideboard, fill it with a potted plant and a few books, and let the scalloped edge do the decorating. The styling props shown are not included.

Is every tray exactly alike?

Seagrass is a natural fibre, so each tray varies a little in the tone and texture of its grass, while keeping the same Natural colour, scalloped rim and two handles.

Is the base solid?

The base is a flat panel of woven seagrass rather than a solid board, with small gaps in the weave around its edge where it meets the wall.
