Coconut shell tray, 'Cream Weave'
Coconut shell tray, 'Cream Weave'
Bali's exotic nature inspires Ketut Sukayasa to hand craft this tray from coconut shells. Sukayasa cuts the shells into rectangular shards, the light colored ones from young coconuts while the darker shards come from ripened ones. He leaves them to dry either out in the sun or in a kiln. Then like a geometric puzzle Sukayasa starts building this tray with epoxy resin, its intriguing texture and visual allure the perfect combination for an innovative home accent. Dust with a damp cloth, do not use cleaning agents.
