Charred Teak Tray
Narrow Console Tray made of Charred Teak
This decorative tray comes from the very talented Idea Woodsmith workshop in Yangon. They work exclusively with reclaimed teak to make beautiful one-off items. Each of these trays is made from an old piece of teak which has been repurposed, reimagined and is ready to be reloved.
We have used reclaimed teak wood from old Burmese buildings, chosen the most beautiful, and worked them into gorgeous little trays. The workshop have used the Japanese tradition of “shou sugi ban”, to burn the teak. The black finish brings out the natural variation in the finish of each piece, whilst also providing natural resistance against pests and damage.
Ideal in the Kitchen due to their natural resistance to water, they work beautifully with our marble collection, but they also make fantastic console table trays.

Home is at the heart of Kalinko, the social enterprise bringing the best of Burmese craftsmanship into your living spaces.
The high quality and beauty of these homewares turns everyday items into something to cherish, from boho-style rattan furniture to hand-chiselled marble bathroom accessories.
Each Kalinko piece takes days, or even weeks, to make. They use the phrase “slow homeware” to describe the steady, age-old techniques their crafters use to create these long-lasting and sustainable items.
The artisans are based in villages right across Burma, with Kalinko working with around 300 small craft families.
38% of families in Burma live off $300 a month, yet the cost of adequate nutrition, healthcare and education is $750 a month. Kalinko aims to close this gap for its makers, reducing their need to rely on unskilled farming work to supplement their income.
Every piece you buy from them ensures these artisans get the fair pay their skills deserve. It’s a mission that makes their stunning homewares an even more meaningful addition to your home.
