The Serax Dune cake stand 02 conceived by Kelly Wearstler introduces a measured sense of verticality to contemporary tablescapes. Part of the family of Table accessories, it is crafted from solid ash wood and offered in two timeless finishes—natural ash and deep black. With a balanced 35.5×35 cm footprint, the stand frames pastries, tarts and petit fours with a quiet, architectural presence that feels both sculptural and welcoming. Made for tactile pleasure, it adds rhythm to dessert buffets and centrepieces, creating a discreet stage that highlights colour, texture and composition without competing with them.
Design and Proportions
The geometry is calm and deliberate: a clean circular plane supported by a grounded base, a silhouette that reads as a contemporary cake stand design. In natural ash the grain softens light; in black it becomes a graphic statement that pairs beautifully with porcelain, glass or metal. Within editorial styling or hospitality service, this profile operates as a ceramic dessert plate on base alternative with the warmth of timber—an object that articulates the layered vocabulary typical of Kelly Wearstler's creations.
Material and Care
Executed in ash, the surface is resilient yet refined. To preserve the finish and the clarity of the grain, the stand should be hand washed as indicated in the product notes. The natural material ages gracefully with use, acquiring subtle patina while maintaining structural integrity. Its thoughtful scale accommodates single, multi-layer or modular dessert compositions, answering the perennial question of how to serve sweets in style with an object that is as practical as it is poetic.
Styling and Context
Use natural ash to soften white pastries and berries, or choose black to dramatise citrus glazes and dark chocolate. The stand reads beautifully on linen tablecloths and marble counters, and pairs with simple glass domes or taper candles. For design teams curating full table narratives, the piece aligns with Dune plates and trays, offering continuity across materials. It also meets the expectations of clients who prefer to buy dune stand 02 online as part of a cohesive mise en place, while retaining the tactile authenticity of wood.
Collection and Brand
Within Serax’s catalogue, the Dune line bridges architecture and daily ritual. The 02 model complements other formats and heights, enabling tiered compositions without visual noise. Discreet branding and exacting craft allow the object to sit comfortably in residential dining rooms and boutique patisseries alike, confirming the versatility that defines the collection and the refined intuition of Kelly Wearstler.
Compatibility
As noted, it is compatible with premium complete Serax tableware sets, integrating with porcelain plates, Serax cutlery and crystal glassware—an intelligent anchor for curated dessert service and seasonal display.
