Zogan Tray - Fusion of Porcelain and Walnut

Walnut and porcelain brought together in a geometric object for use and display.

The Zogan Tray by Yoshiaki Ito combines the warmth of walnut with the refined character of porcelain. The contrasting materials are integrated into a single architectural form, creating a tray with a distinctive visual identity.

Its clean geometry and material contrast allow the piece to move easily between function and display. Use it as part of a table setting, place it on a console or coffee table, or simply enjoy it as a sculptural object.
