The Serax Dune Tray conceived by Kelly Wearstler brings composed restraint to modern service rituals. Part of Cutting Boards and Trays, the piece is produced in ash wood with natural ash and black finishes, and offered in two lengths—46.5 cm and 56.5 cm. Edges are drawn crisp to contain glassware and bowls, while the surface remains quiet and tactile, a deliberate backdrop for breakfast sets, aperitif arrangements or bedside service. The outline is generous but measured, encouraging orderly compositions that keep focus on texture and tone.
Design Intent
The geometry functions as a modern table tray with the warmth of timber. In natural ash the grain softens reflective objects; in black the tray reads as a strong graphic field that frames porcelain and steel. Its balanced proportions allow the smaller size to operate as a serax dune tray S for intimate settings, while the longer format suits layered hospitality scenarios. The silhouette also echoes a small ceramic tray archetype, reframed through wood for tactile comfort, that matches all kind of Serax table products.
Material, Care and Use
Executed in ash and finished for resilience, the tray should be hand washed according to the guidance. Sidewalls are tuned for secure carry without visual heaviness. The format accommodates coordinated place settings—“to be used with flat plates, deep bowls and matching Serax glasses”—making it a natural response to how to use small trays for serving with clarity and poise.
Styling and Ecosystem
Pair natural ash with alabaster porcelain for tonal serenity; select black to anchor slate or metallic accents. The tray integrates seamlessly with Dune plates, bowls and cake stands, ensuring consistency across touchpoints. For project teams specifying or planning to purchase dune tray online within a broader kit, the dimensions align with typical cup-and-saucer footprints and coupe bowls to streamline service choreography.
Brand and Designer
Serax and Kelly Wearstler continue to explore proportion, material and shadow within an accessible vocabulary. The Dune Tray crystallises that vision into an everyday tool that feels considered, durable and quietly expressive—an essential Kelly Wearstler design accessory for contemporary interiors.
