MERRAZZO TRAYS

 

Trays in Merrazzo, the marine terrazzo developed by GWILEN.


The main material is our sedimentary material, in raw color. The sediments come from a small port of Mor Braz, the port of Quiberon. We added shell waste, oyster shells for the H7 tray, mussel shells for the M13 tray and Saint-Jacques shells for the S19 tray, to create this 100% marine terrazzo, 100% Breton!
Each tray is handmade in our workshop in Brest.

The trays are an abstraction of shells. Their rough, raw exterior is like the outer shell. The interior, on the other hand, is riddled with shell fragments, evoking the mother of pearl and the interior of the shell. The very simple geometry of the trays makes them easy to combine, and allows them to adapt to any interior.

Their surface is oiled with a natural oil, composed of a vegetable oil and an iron-based siccative. This oil penetrates the material and hardens, making the surface waterproof.
The underside of the trays is covered with felt, mother-of-pearl white for the H7 oyster tray, navy blue for the M13 mussel tray and creamy white for the S19 Saint-Jacques tray.

A print on natural paper of the GWILEN manifesto, developing the origins and the stakes of the project, will be attached to your order!
