Ionian Tenganan Tray

The woven Ionian Tenganan Tray makes a stunning and functional accent piece. Characterized by its organic, wavy edge, this basket tray can be styled on your coffee table or ottoman with your favorite candle, matchbook and accessories, set on a bedside table as a catch-all, or used to organize your bathroom counter or vanity. Both intricate and yet elegantly simple, the woven texture of this tray transforms it into an artistic piece, effortlessly enhancing and refining any space it graces. A serious multi-tasker, this tray can also be used for entertaining as a serving tray. Each Tenganan basket tray is handwoven in the village of Tenganan, Bali using natural Ata reed. The fast-growing Ata reed has to be separated into small, thin strands. Then, skilled artisans intricately weave the strands into baskets and woven homewares, working on one basket for up to a month. Once fully woven, the weavings are boiled and left in the sun to dry for a week. Finally, to strengthen the weave, condition the fibers, and leave a natural finish, they are smoked over coconut shell clippings for two days. As each piece takes about a month to finish, there is a true dedication to craft required to make these woven objects, and there will be slight variations in each piece.
