Introducing the Double Tray by John Pawson, a testament to minimalist elegance and functionality. Crafted with exceptional skill, this piece originates from John Pawson's design for a new Cistercian monastery in Bohemia. It embodies the essence of minimalist design, with its roots in the creation of essential dining equipment for the monastery's refectory. This solid oak double tray, a highlight of the collection, is notable for its versatility. The two separate trays can be used independently, offering flexibility in use. Their design is not just about aesthetic appeal but also about enhancing the dining experience.
Each tray is crafted to provide visual delight, feel comfortable in hand, and serve its purpose with utmost efficiency. The collection as a whole celebrates minimalism, focusing on the principles of design and the rituals of eating and drinking. Each item, including the double tray, is an example of design simplicity yet powerful impact. The forms are streamlined but impactful, showcasing a balance of refined and sensuously lyrical design. This is further complemented by meticulous attention to details of scale, proportion, and fabrication, paired with a consummate material palette.
