Tray A

The TRAY A, designed under the Wave model, is a functional serving and display object measuring 35.00 centimeters in width, 5.00 centimeters in height, and 35.00 centimeters in depth. Constructed from a combination of teak wood and sono wood, the piece utilizes two distinct timber species to form its visual and structural composition. The material selection provides a contrasting grain pattern and color variation across the surface, inherent to the natural properties of the hardwoods used.

The physical assembly integrates teak and sono wood strips arranged in a deliberate geometric layout that defines the Wave profile. Teak wood, known for its dense cellular structure and natural oil content, contributes durability and resistance to moisture. Sono wood, often referred to as rosewood, supplies darker tonal streaks and a fine texture that contrasts with the golden-brown hues of the teak. The integration of these two materials is executed through precision joinery, ensuring flush surfaces and stable joints throughout the body of the tray.

The circular or square-derived footprint spans 35.00 centimeters on each side, offering a contained surface area suited for organizing tabletop items, carrying tableware, or serving food. The perimeter is enclosed by a raised rim standing at a height of 5.00 centimeters, which functions as a physical barrier to retain items placed inside the basin. The thickness of the base and the walls is calibrated to maintain structural rigidity while keeping the overall weight manageable.

Weighing precisely 1.11 kilograms, the TRAY A possesses enough heft to remain stable on flat surfaces during handling, yet remains light enough for single-handed transport. The spatial volume occupied by the object is calculated at 0.0060 cubic meters, making it compact for shipping, storage, and retail display.

The surface finish is treated with mineral oil, a non-drying, food-safe substance that penetrates the wood pores to protect against drying, cracking, and liquid absorption. This mineral oil finish preserves the matte texture of the wood without leaving a synthetic polymer coating or glossy film. The grain remains tactile, and the natural pores of both teak and sono wood are partially visible and felt upon contact.

Maintenance of the TRAY A involves periodic re-application of mineral oil to sustain the moisture barrier and visual depth of the timber. Cleaning requires hand washing with mild soap and lukewarm water, followed by immediate drying with a soft cloth. Submersion in water or cleaning in automated dishwashers will compromise the wood integrity and is strictly excluded from proper care routines.

The underside of the tray is flat, allowing stable placement on dining tables, coffee tables, kitchen countertops, and console surfaces without wobbling. The interior base transitions smoothly into the 5.00-centimeter vertical walls via a subtle radius, preventing crumbs or small particles from lodging tightly in sharp 90-degree corners and facilitating easier cleaning.

Manufacturing tolerances are tightly controlled to ensure the specified dimensions of 35.00 cm width, 5.00 cm height, and 35.00 cm depth remain consistent across production units. Each individual tray exhibits unique variations in color tone, grain direction, and knot patterns due to the organic origin of the teak and sono wood raw materials. These variations are biological characteristics of natural timber rather than manufacturing defects.
