A softer statement for the home
The Kapalua Mother of Pearl Circular Tray brings a sense of softness and balance to the home, designed to elevate everyday objects with quiet elegance. Its rounded silhouette feels timeless and versatile, while the luminous quality of natural shell inlay adds a subtle, natural glow.
Handcrafted in the Philippines, each shell inlay tray is inlaid with carefully selected mother of pearl, reflecting light with a gentle iridescence — reminiscent of sunlit water and the ocean at dusk.
