Aluminum tray, "Smooth Curve"

Parabolic contours evoke the hypnotic allure of this aluminum tray. The art of pewter originates in Belgium, but Mexican artisans have developed similar designs exploiting aluminum's beauty and strength. Once the liquid alloy is poured into a mold of compacted sand it hardens in 5 or 10 minutes, before being filed and polished to remove imperfections. Sleek textures make this a captivating acquisition for any décor.

Says Luis Martinez Gallardo, "It is a challenge for me to transform the designs we create into functional and decorative products. The items we elaborate are made with the highest standards of quality."

This handcrafted product may present miniscule pores that are imprinted from the sand molds used by Martinez.

As each piece is crafted individually, there may be slight variations in the final design.
