Striking in both symmetry and detail, this LARA Marquetry Tray showcases a bold geometric composition inspired by Art Deco architecture. Repeating hexagonal forms interlock across the surface, each meticulously constructed from fine strips of contrasting tropical woods. The alternating directions of the grain create a dynamic play of light and shadow, giving the pattern depth, movement and architectural precision.
Handcrafted in Guadalupe, Venezuela, skilled artisans cut and inlay each individual segment using traditional marquetry techniques. The rich contrast between warm honey tones and deeper walnut hues highlights the natural variation of the wood, making every tray subtly unique.
Framed by a solid hardwood border and integrated handles, the design balances decorative refinement with practical function. Polished to perfection and finished with locally sourced oils rather than varnish, the surface retains a soft, tactile sheen that honours the authenticity of the material.
An elegant statement for serving or display, this tray embodies the precision, heritage and quiet luxury of the Lara Collection.
