A quiet statement for the home
Designed to elevate the objects you love, the Kapalua Mother of Pearl Nesting Trays bring a quiet sense of intention to the home. Styled together, they create a statement; placed apart, they softly enhance different corners — from bedside to coffee table, bar to desk.
Created for treasured pieces, daily rituals, and everything in between, each shell inlay tray is handcrafted in the Philippines. Delicate mother of pearl inlay catches the light with a soft, natural luminosity — reminiscent of the ocean at dusk.
