Volubia - Handmade Rattan and Mother-of-Pearl Round Tray, Volute Foliage Pattern (32 cm)

Overview

Volubia combines the warmth of woven rattan with the luminous freshness of mother-of-pearl, in a round tray featuring a blue botanical design. Its name evokes the morning glory (volubilis), a climbing plant that coils, stretches, and unfurls with suppleness. Here, this inspiration translates into an organic motif composed of small bluish leaves, like a discreet nature progressing in elegant curves.

At the center, the leaves seem to emerge from a floral point before spreading towards the edges of the tray. The design creates a subtle impression of movement: the imaginary stems intertwine, shapes repeat without rigidity, and the whole retains a great visual softness thanks to the contrast between the mineral blue, the light mother-of-pearl background, and the natural rattan.

Both a serving tray and a decorative object, Volubia easily finds its place on a coffee table, console, desk, bedside table, or ottoman. Its integrated side handles make it easy to hold, while its high rattan rim provides a structured and warm presence.

Its mother-of-pearl surface delicately captures the light and reveals changing reflections depending on the viewing angle. Volubia thus brings a fresh, botanical, and elegant artisanal touch, ideal for complementing a natural, contemporary, or bohemian chic interior.

Material

Natural rattan rim, genuine mother-of-pearl base

Rattan is a plant material prized for its lightness, strength, and warm texture. Mother-of-pearl, derived from shells, offers iridescent reflections and unique visual depth. Its shades can vary naturally, from pearly white to luminous cream, with more or less intense bluish touches depending on the fragments used in the motif.

Usage ideas

• Serving tray for drinks, glasses, or appetizers

Artisanal note

Each Volubia tray is handmade. Slight variations in the weaving, shape, rattan shades, bluish tones of the pattern, or mother-of-pearl assembly are not defects: they are part of the lively character of natural materials and the uniqueness of each piece.
