Bandeja

A versatile tray designed to serve as an incense holder, ashtray, jewelry tray, or however you choose to use it. Available in two distinctive colorways—Barro and Sangre—this piece pays homage to Sunday morning rituals, symbolizing the art of resetting: a cleansing smoke before a peaceful coffee run.

The Barro colorway is a modern interpretation of traditional Mexican ceramics, celebrating the rich heritage of barro. Its aged look, finished with a subtle metallic glow, reflects our lab-like approach to merging the old with the new. This design embodies our philosophy of transforming life’s experiences into tangible forms, where rigorous experimentation reveals the beauty of imperfection.

In contrast, the Sangre colorway draws inspiration from red and white blood cells, representing our core design ethos: “the same process, different result.” Each piece undergoes the same meticulous crafting process but emerges with its own unique character—mirroring the endless diversity of life. Sangre honors the vibrant pulse of creation and the unpredictable beauty that consistency brings.
